Jaylen Brown said moves like the Knicks' addition of Mikal Bridges and the Cavs' addition of DeAndre Hunter are a source of motivation

The Knicks made a brief comeback attempt in the third quarter, but the Celtics were largely in control in Sunday's win.

Jayson Tatum fell one assist short of a triple-double for the Boston Celtics, who once against dealt a swift lesson to the New York Knicks in the form of a 118-105 triumph at TD Garden on Sunday afternoon. Tatum put up a team-best 25 points and 10 rebounds in the latest victory over the Knicks, their third in as many meetings so far this season.
