The New York Knicks put together a dominant defensive showing on Sunday against the Boston Celtics on the road.
The team will need to add two more players while also juggling ten-day deals to stay above the 14-man limit required by the league. But who to sign?
Vučević finished with 11 points, 12 rebounds and four assists in Boston's 98-96 comeback win against the Miami Heat.
The Celtics added a new face to the organization after completing four total trades this week ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. The Celtics acquired two-way guard John Tonje from the Jazz as part of the Chris Boucher trade. The C’s also sent cash considerations and a future second-round pick to Utah as part of the deal.
Alvarado, generously listed at 6 feet, didn’t back down. He took the contact, waited for Brown to turn for the shot, stripped it clean and turned to the Knicks bench for a hometown flex. It was his first steal in orange and blue and the highlight of a successful debut, an 111-89 victory over the rival Celtics in Sunday’s pre-Super Bowl matinee.
