New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics Preview
The New York Knicks had a solid starting lineup in their Summer League debut against the Detroit Pistons. However, their second and third unit weren't ready for the big dance, and looked lost out there. They are coached by Jordan Brink, who started as a director of player development for the Knicks in 2023.
On the other hand, the Boston Celtics played gritty basketball. It also helps that they have several players with NBA experience on the roster, such as Jordan Walsh, Kenny Lofton Jr. and Charles Bassey. Assistant coach Matt Reynolds will be in charge of the Celtics.
