A Long Night for the Knicks: Celtics Dominate in Season Opener

In a highly anticipated matchup between the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics, the Celtics showcased their dominance right from the tip-off in what turned out to be a one-sided affair at Madison Square Garden. Star player Jason Tatum stole the show with a remarkable 40-point performance, asserting his reputation as a big-game player who thrives in high-pressure situations.

The Celtics managed to take control early on and never looked back, a domination summed up perfectly when Tatum contributed to 20 of the team's next 26 points after the Knicks cut the lead to just three in the third quarter. His stellar performance helped the Celtics extend their lead and secure a convincing victory.
