The Boston Celtics won a hard-fought fight against the New York Knicks, winning 114-98 and extending their record to a remarkable 8-2. The night’s star was unquestionably Jayson Tatum, who contributed 35 points, seven rebounds, and 6 assists. The joy, however, was muted by a late-game technical violation that irritated Tatum.

Following the game, notably the fourth-quarter technical, Tatum expressed his displeasure with the officials. He mentioned that the emotional aspect of the game, as well as the team’s defensive efforts, should have been considered before issuing the technical.

Following the Celtics’ three-game winning streak, focus now moves to a difficult matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers on November 15th.
