New York, Feb. 8, 2026 — Jose Alvarado delivered the energy the New York Knicks needed, propelling the team to a dominant victory over the Boston Celtics and snapping a brief skid.
The feisty guard provided an immediate jolt on both ends of the floor, helping New York seize control early and maintain a comfortable margin the rest of the way. The win served as a strong response after the Knicks’ previous setback and tightened the season series with Boston.
Alvarado’s intensity set the tone for a group that looked sharper and more cohesive than it had in its last outing. His contributions ignited the home crowd and allowed the Knicks to dictate tempo against their longtime Eastern Conference rival.
The result gives New York momentum as the schedule moves into the second half, while Boston heads back to the drawing board after being outplayed from start to finish.
