Jayson Tatum fell one assist short of a triple-double for the Boston Celtics, who once against dealt a swift lesson to the New York Knicks in the form of a 118-105 triumph at TD Garden on Sunday afternoon. Tatum put up a team-best 25 points and 10 rebounds in the latest victory over the Knicks, their third in as many meetings so far this season.

After struggling throughout the month of December and entering January, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have found their stride coming out of All-Star Weekend. The Celtics have won five straight games and nine of their last ten thanks to the play of their six-time All-Star.

The Knicks made a brief comeback attempt in the third quarter, but the Celtics were largely in control in Sunday's win.
