Tatum blocked Barrett inside at 72-72 and #Celtics created 5 PTS (Griffin 3, Brown transition layup) off that and his steal moments later. Big swing. #Knicks timeout
C’s remain jump shot heavy, but they’re hitting. Griffin has 7 PTS – 8:56 PM

Still 9:20 left in the 3rd quarter.
His career-high is 13. – 8:54 PM

Great play by Derrick White to fly in and corral an offensive rebound and putback all in one movement to put Boston in front 67-66 at half.
27 of Boston’s 46 shots came from 3.
Jaylen Brown has 21 for the Celtics.
RJ Barrett and Julius Randle each have 18 for New York. – 8:37 PM

Important pair of setups by Marcus Smart to Blake Griffin in the P&R. I think it’s no surprise #Celtics started him tonight. He really hasn’t found a way to impact the team yet and Mazzulla, Smart giving him another chance in this first half. – 8:27 PM

Brogdon EVERYWHERE on offense right now. Sets up Brown for an elbow jumper, initiates 3 passes for a Brown 3 and finds Hauser for 3 in transition.
Absolute clinic for him with this bench unit. Add to the #Celtics‘ advantage when Tatum sits. – 8:17 PM

In related news: another good game for Sam Hauser, who has already hit 3 triples. He’s becoming a quality rotation piece. – 8:11 PM

Yet they still have a better record here since 2001, than the Garden of their own. pic.twitter.com/gh8QUqrS3o – 7:08 PM
