The Celtics have also been bolstered by newcomers like BrandonBass (22 on Sunday versus the Bobcats) as well as 2010 draft pick Avery Bradley, who had 18 Saturday against the Nets.
BrandonBass added 17 points, steadying Boston as it shook off an 11-0 deficit and pulled away in the second half to stop the Knicks again from achieving their first playoff series victory since 2000.
