Jalen Brunson scored 31 points and Karl-Anthony Towns added 26 to lead the Knicks to a 2-0 season start with a dominant second quarter at Madison Square Garden.
- Friday night at Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks defeated the Boston Celtics 105-95, starting the season 2-0.
- Starting the second with an 11-0 run, the New York Knicks outscored the Boston Celtics 42-14 in the second quarter, building a 64-44 halftime lead.
- Jalen Brunson delivered a big scoring night, scoring 31 points with clutch baskets, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 26 points and 13 rebounds and San Hauser contributed 18 off the bench.
- The Celtics, now 0-2, gave away their season-opening lead earlier in the week and face Detroit on Sunday, while the Knicks play at Miami Sunday night.
