New York Knicks (25-14) at Boston Celtics (20-21)Thursday, January 24, 20138:00 PM ET Regular Season Game #42 – Road Game #22TV: TNT, TSN2Radio: WEEI, ESPN NYTD GardenReferees: Joey Crawford, Dick Bavetta, Marat Kogut The Knicks visit the Celtics for round 2 of 4 between these two division
rivals. Whenever these two teams get together there is always a
playoff atmosphere, even in the preseason. It seems that they are
always on the verge of a brawl. Every game is hard fought, that is for
certain.
There was no shortage of drama between them in their
last meeting as KG inspired Carmelo Anthony to chase him into the locker
room and then wait for him outside the Celtics' bus. Anthony has
said that he is fine with KG and that he's only looking forward to the
game. He blamed fasting for being so testy in that last meeting.
Hopefully he has his pregame meal before this one, but don't count on
KG not trying to get into his head again.
