Quickley certainly proved that he is one tonight against the Celtics. This was a massive win for the Knicks, who have won nine in a row and are the hottest team in basketball.

The Knicks are now 39-27, fifth in the Eastern Conference, two games ahead of the Brooklyn Nets and one game back of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks would love to keep things rolling to get home-court advantage in a potential playoff series against the Cavaliers.

With Jalen Brunson sitting out this game, the Knicks could not have asked for a better performance from Quickley. This gives a big boost to his sixth man of the year case.
