The Celtics have proven to be a strong visiting team this season, during which they set a franchise record with 33 victories on the road.

Boston would do so, and handily -- thanks in no small part to the Vanderbilt alum's career night vs. the Knicks in Game 5. "Throughout my time of the Celtics and throughout my career whatever coach asked me to do, I'm just there to do it," said Kornet.

Madison Square Garden will be especially raucous with its New York Knicks vying to reach the penultimate playoff round — something they haven’t done since 2000. Standing in their way are the archrival and defending champion Boston Celtics, looking galvanized after Wednesday’s Game 5 win.
