The New York Knicks overcame a slow opening stretch on Friday, Oct. 24, 2025, and pulled away from the Boston Celtics for their second straight win to begin the season.
New York trailed early but found its rhythm in the middle quarters, steadily widening the gap and never looking back. Boston played without All-Star forward Jayson Tatum, leaving the visitors short on firepower as the Knicks took control.
The victory moves the Knicks to 2-0, while the Celtics drop to 0-1. The game was the first meeting of the year between the longtime Atlantic Division rivals.
