Celtics vs. Knicks / Oct 22 / 2026-27 Season

Jayson Tatum did it all, playing the hero, as the Celtics closed out the Knicks, 107-103 in TD Garden. Things were far from perfect and things got hairy down the stretch, but this proved to be a big, clutch win for the team in green. Chud and Doug break it all down, dig into Tatum's heroics, some lineups questions, the Tatum/Brown 'beef', and much more!
