Smith and Melo help Knicks win on the road

When Carmelo plays and isn't suffering an injury it seems like to me the Knicks play better. Well tonight against the Boston Celtics they played great. J.R. Smith lead the way for the New York Knicks by scoring 32 points. The New York Knicks defeated the Boston Celtics 100-85 to win there 5th straight game. Smith not only scored 32 points but pulled down 7 rebounds, had 3 steals and shot 13 out of 24 from the field. Carmelo Anthony added 29 points, 8 rebounds and 3 rebounds. The New York Knicks only committed 8 turnovers in this game which to me is very good. For the Boston Celtics Jeff Green lead the way with a double double. Green scored 19 points and had 10 rebounds while dishing out 6 assists. Paul Pierce scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists while also having 6 turnovers. Jordan Crawford added 14 points, 6 assists, 4 rebound and also had 6 turnovers. Boston to me just lost there focus tonight and had 19 turnovers. When you turn the ball over that much it's very hard to win games. The Boston Celtics are struggling and have lost 7 out of there last 10 games to remain in the seventh seed in the eastern conference. If the Celtics keep losing the way they are they are bound to fall into the eighth slot and have to play the Miami Heat in the first round which I believe nobody wants to do.
