KNICKs AT NIGHT

Crowder apologized for the Cs' lack of effort, Heat--
Jae's energy, enthusiasm appreciated on Causeway Street!
Commissioner Silver said a top Coach is Brad,
Maybe one of the best young Coaches the NBA's had!

The Cs are at MSG,  a so-called "trap game."
Zeller vs Bargnani, one of the few Knicks I can name.
Cs good ball movement, SMART FOR THREE!
Early low scoring, not due to either team's D.

Knicks a small run, is the Cs' effort waning?
Brad called time out--very loud complaining!
Special tribute, 70th--Happy Birthday Clyde
Frazier. Sweet. Virgin Islands trip--free ride.

Knicks a 12-2 run, can't believe what I see:
Cs need to move the ball, be aggressive--AND play D!
Isaiah says Heat game was the worst of his career--
Tonight he's more active, confident, it would appear!

ISAIAH FOR THREE! An old-fashioned four!
End Q1 Cs within 1--yikes--so says the score.
Brad's deep into the Bench--Who Wants to Play?
One field goal apiece, nine different Cs--the hard way.

JEREBKO FOR THREE! Cs playing with pace--
Crowder and Smart running all over the place!
Cs a 32-19 run. Knicks sort of standing around--
Better if more Cs' shots are consistently found!

LOVE CROWDER! Both ends of the floor!
The poised, dignified Bass, coast to coast...score!
Of the In-Between game, Turner's becoming a master.
Cs up 8 end Q2--better when they play faster.

Here we go with the refs, ugh, especially on AB.
When the ball's out of bounds, guess they can't see.
Cs turnover woes. Knicks a 7-0 run,
Looks way too much like most of Q1.

Knicks' Larkin's a fast runner, vertical leap, too.
Drawing fouls is one of the things Isaiah can do.
LOVE CROWDER, BASS! Good work, AB.
Since when can Bargnani shoot the three?

Two-handed Bass! Holy Smart, playing large--
Great D, Great D, Great D, took a charge!
THOMAS FOR THREE! Cs up 7 end Q3.
First mention of Olynyk, tough rebound had he.

Olynyk's indecisive on shooting and on D.
Isaiah's warming up--that's fun to see.
Acy's physical on Olynyk who drew a tech.
Everyone shoves Olynyk! What the heck!

Olynyk warmed up. It's Turner-time!
Knicks an 11-6 run, seems a crime.
Somehow these Knicks stayed in it--
Phew, by 4, the CELTICS WIN it.
