The New York Knicks are winning no matter who they play. Somehow, beating
Boston feels special.

"Let's just be quite frank about them," Carmelo Anthony said after the Knicks
cruised to a 100-85 win over the Celtics on Tuesday night. "We always want to
beat Boston. New York in anything wants to beat Boston and when we do, it's a
great feeling."

J.R. Smith came off the bench to score 32 points, Anthony added 29 and the
Knicks extended their winning streak to five games while handing the Celtics
their fifth straight loss.

It's tough for a lot of teams to come here and win (but) we're playing for
something," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "They're playing for something,
too, and they're a little beat up, like we are. And I just thought tonight
our defense set the tone early and it was a nice flow for 48 minutes."

The Celtics, playing their second straight game without Kevin Garnett, were
led by Jeff Green with 19 points and Paul Pierce with 16. But they committed
20 turnovers, while the Knicks, who average the fewest turnovers in the NBA,
had just eight.

"We've got to get back to playing with more energy, forcing a lot of
turnovers like we were three or four weeks ago," Pierce said, "turning the
ball over less if we're going to give ourselves a chance."

Garnett is expected to miss about two weeks with inflammation in his left
ankle. Starting guard Courtney Lee also sat out his second game in a row with
a sprained left ankle. Starters Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger already are
sidelined for the season.

"Kevin's not playing. I don't worry about it," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.
"Overall, we were pretty bad tonight. Kevin had nothing to do with that."

Smith disagrees, especially after driving to the hoop for several baskets.

"It feels like they didn't have any shot blockers," he said. "So (I) take it
to the basket, draw fouls, find some teammates that get open and play from
there."

The Knicks were without two key big men. Tyson Chandler has a bulging disk
and missed his seventh consecutive game, while Amare Stoudemire was sidelined
for the 10th game following knee surgery that is expected to keep him out
four more weeks.

"We credit everything we do to our defense," Smith said. "When we get out and
run, no one can really run with us."

Neither team shot well, with Boston making 44.9 percent of its attempts and
New York hitting 43.3 percent. But the Knicks had 15 offensive rebounds, six
by Anthony, compared to seven by the Celtics, and took 21 more shots.

"No one played well," Rivers said. "They just had a lot of extra shots to
miss and they made a couple of them."

The Knicks led 84-69 entering the fourth quarter and took their biggest lead,
91-74, on a 3-pointer by Novak.

"We allowed them to get easy layups," Green said. "We allowed them to get a
good rhythm and that's when they started knocking down threes and it put us
on our heels."

And that led to another win in Boston for New York.

"A great road win for us, especially in this arena," Anthony said. "Knowing
how hostile it can get here and knowing how well they play here at home in
front of their fans, it just says a lot about our team."
