BEIJING, Feb. 8 -- The Boston Celtics regrouped quickly from a morale-sapping overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers to mount a fourth-quarter revival against the New York Knicks that secured a 110-100 road victory on Friday. Ray Allen recorded 11 of his 22 points in the final quarter, where the Celtics outscored the Knicks 38-24 to pull away for their 13th win in 14 contests.
Paul Pierce led his team with 26 points as Boston (42-10) returned to the court less than 24 hours after losing 109-110 to a feisty Lakers team.
"It showed a degree of mental toughness tonight, it would've been easy to give in," Celtics coach Doc Rivers told reporters.
"We told them before the game it's going to be close and we have to make our run at the end.
"We hung around long enough to play basketball."
