Burke dropped 29 points to lead the Knicks to an unlikely 117-109 win over the Celtics. In a game where the Knicks needed extra firepower from someone, Burke provided it in all aspects.

During the break, it seemed like the Knicks are their Wheaties because they started the third quarter on fire. For the first five minutes, Mudiay was playing like he was the second coming of Dwyane Wade. He scored 8 points during the Knicks 15-5 run which increased the Knicks lead to ten with 7:15 remaining. Afterward, the Trailblazers took over.

First, the Knicks fall behind early. After the Knicks stumble in the first quarter, they regain some momentum and mount a comeback. Usually, that comeback gives Knicks fans false hope of a Knicks comeback win. Then the fourth quarter comes, and the Knicks crumble like shortcake.

Throughout three quarters, the Knicks were able to stave off multiple Pelicans comebacks. For a moment, it seemed like the Knicks would pull out a victory, but as fans know, when it comes to the Knicks, no lead is ever safe.

Despite not having the talent to overcome the best teams in the NBA, Fizdale had the Knicks playing with intensity each game. There wasn't a game where the Knicks showed no fight. Now, the Knicks are playing like puppies, little barks with no bite.
