Yesterday’s game against Boston was obviously the team’s strongest defensive effort all season. In this episode I try to show how the Knicks kept the Celtics out of the paint and off the baseline.

When the 2009 season started, many Knick fans had high hopes on Wilson Chandler. As a rookie, Chandler’s stats weren’t overly impressive.
