Celtics Cruise to Eighth Straight Win, Extend Lead in Eastern Conference

Brown Leads Boston with 24 Points

Knicks Fall to 48-32

The Boston Celtics continued their impressive run of form by cruising to a 116-102 victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. The win extends the Celtics' winning streak to eight games and gives them a two-game lead over the Philadelphia 76ers for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 24 points, followed by Jaylen Brown's 22. Brunson scored a game-high 39 points for the Knicks, but it wasn't enough to overcome Boston's hot shooting.

The Celtics led by just two points at halftime, but they opened the third quarter with a 10-2 run to take control of the game. They extended their lead to 20 points in the fourth quarter and cruised to the victory.

With the win, the Celtics improve to 62-18 on the season. They will face the Knicks again on Thursday in New York.
