The NBA-best Celtics beat Knicks 116-102, with Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jayson Tatum leading to a 116-102 victory over the hosts. Jalen Brunson's 34 points were nowhere near enough for the hosts

JAKE NISSE AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN: During Jayson Tatum's warmup on Saturday night, he took a short break from his regular duties. Most of his time on the court was spent honing the skills he'd soon use: he splashed in some jumpers, tested his dribble, and rehearsed some post moves as the arena slowly began to fill up. However, at one point, perhaps a minute, a Celtics staffer gently punched a basketball back and forth on the Madison Square Garden hardwood.

The Detroit Pistons lead by 21 points in the first half and lose to the Boston Celtics in the NBA's longest losing streak at 28 games

Since losing by 128-122 overtime to the Boston Celtics, the Detroit Pistons' historic losing streak stretched to 28-straight games and counting. To add insult to injury, the Pistons lost by 21 points in the second quarter to tie the longest losing streak in NBA history. Following a loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Detroit's unexpected streak had them sole possession of the NBA record for the longest single streak in league history.

Kristaps Porzingis is tied down to a lucrative two-year deal by the Boston Celtics

Kristaps Porzingis, the Boston Celtics' newly signed forward/center, has agreed to a two-year contract, extending the player's career to the 2025-26 season and ensuring he will make more than $96 million. The club did not disclose financial terms, but agents for the 2017-18 All-Star told ESPN that the two-year contract is worth $60 million. For the 2024-25 season, the extension began. In a three-team trade that culminated in guard Marcus Smart's release in Memphis, the Celtics acquired Porcini from the Washington Wizards last month.
