Apr 8, 2025; New York, New York, USA; Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (8) looks for an opening against New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (32) during the first half at Madison Square Garden. Mandatory Credit: John Jones-Imagn Images Kristaps Porzingis scored 34 points and tied a career high with eight 3-pointers, including one in the third quarter with a foot on the New York Knicks’ logo, as the visiting Boston Celtics won 119-117 in overtime Tuesday night.
With their ninth straight win on the road, the Celtics secured their first four-game regular-season sweep of the Knicks since the 2019-20 season.
By virtue of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ win over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday, Boston (59-20) is locked in as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. New York (50-29) needs one more win or a loss by the Indiana Pacers to lock up the No. 3 seed.
Porzingis, the former Knick, had the biggest shot of the night, making a 3-pointer with 40.8 seconds left in overtime to break a 112-112 tie. The Knicks turned the ball over on their next possession and Jrue Holiday made four free throws in the final 12.6 seconds to clinch it for Boston.
Jayson Tatum scored 32 points for the Celtics. Jaylen Brown played just 22 minutes while dealing with a sore right knee and scored six points. Jrue Holliday scored 16 points and Derrick White chipped in 14.
For the Knicks, Karl-Anthony Towns scored 34 points, Jalen Brunson added 27 and Josh Hart finished with 10 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists before fouling out.
New York led by three with under a minute left in regulation after a basket by Mikal Bridges (14 points), but Towns fouled Tatum on a 3-point shot. Tatum made the first two free throws but missed the third.
Hart scored on a layup to make it 107-104 with 11 seconds left, but Tatum answered with a 3 with 2.9 seconds to play. The Celtics shot 19 of 49 from 3-point range overall.
Hart missed a long 3 at the fourth-quarter buzzer that could have won it for the Knicks.
New York controlled the first half behind Towns, who had 22 points on 9-for-13 shooting at the break.
Towns scored 10 straight points for the Knicks as they built a 14-7 lead.
Boston pulled to within three on a long 3-pointer by Sam Hauser and a traditional three-point play by Tatum. After the first quarter, New York led 30-27.
The second quarter followed a similar script. Towns made a nifty hook shot in the lane and then banked in a jumper from the elbow with eight minutes left to put New York ahead 42-33, its biggest lead to that point.
The Knicks’ lead hit 11 at 52-41 after Anunoby hit two free throws with 3:58 left, but Boston surged back. Porzingis drilled a 3, sank a free throw and scored from inside to key an 11-2 run.
New York led 58-52 at halftime.

In her first 99 years, Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt had built women’s sports programs before it was common, participated in civil rights activism before it was popular and mentored thousands of students over several decades at Loyola Chicago.All that to say, the true impact of her life’s work dwarfed her role as the team chaplain and mascot for Loyola Chicago’s longshot run to the 2018 Final Four.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut for those three surreal weeks that spring, when they wheeled Sister Jean out of the tunnel to celebrate four straight improbable NCAA tournament victories, it produced the kind of March magic only one sport in the world can offer.Sister Jean died at age 106, the school announced late Thursday night, and the coming tributes to her will no doubt reach a wide spectrum of people at Loyola and across Chicago whose lives she […]

Stěžoval si na Procházkovo chování. Není šance, aby šel s Pereirou, říká konkurent české hvězdy
Tohle téma by se zřejmě vůbec neřešilo, kdyby se Procházka s Ulbergem skutečně utkali. Zápas byl údajně dohodnutý, nicméně druhý jmenovaný nakonec kvůli zdravotním problémům odstoupil, a Procházka tak musel hledat náhradního soupeře. Situace však nabrala nečekaný obrat. Ulberg se krátce nato „zázračně“ uzdravil a v Austrálii přece jen nastoupil, ovšem proti jinému protivníkovi.„Nebylo to tak, jak Jiří tvrdil, že jsem se mu chtěl vyhnout nebo že jsem odmítl souboj,“ uvedl Ulberg v rozhovoru s novinářem Arielem Helwanim. „Byl jsem zraněný a nečekal jsem, že mu to UFC vůbec oznámí. Chtěl jsem náš zápas pouze přesunout na listopad, abych měl dostatek času na rekonvalescenci. Jenže Jiří chtěl bojovat dřív, aby byl připraven na titulový duel mezi Ankalajevem a Pereirou,“ dodal aktuální třetí muž žebříčku polotěžké váhy.Ulberg si to nakonec v Perthu rozdal s Američanem Dominickem Reyesem, kterého knokautoval už v prvním kole. Jak ale sám přiznává, zápas pro něj představoval […]
