Knicks Beat Celtics 108-89, Edge Toward Atlantic Division Title
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Carmelo Anthony had 24 points and 10 rebounds as the Knicks extended their winning streak to eight Sunday night, beating the Boston Celtics 108-89.
The Knicks also moved closer to ending Boston's hold on the Atlantic Division title.
The Knicks beat the Celtics for the second time this week and won the season series for the first time since 2003-04, when they also went 3-1 against Boston. The Knicks climbed back into a tie with Indiana in the race for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, which would currently mean a playoff meeting with the Celtics.
Jeff Green scored 27 points, and Paul Pierce had 24 points and 15 rebounds as the Celtics had a two-game winning streak snapped.
Boston has won the last five division titles since acquiring Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in the summer of 2007.
The Knicks haven't won the division since the 1993-94 season.
