{{Main|Knicks–Celtics rivalry}}
The New York Knicks and the [[Boston Celtics]] are two of the three remaining teams from the original 1946 NBA (the other is the [[Golden State Warriors]]). The rivalry stems from the old rivalry between the cities of New York City and [[Boston]], which is also mirrored in both the [[Yankees–Red Sox rivalry|Yankees–Red Sox]] and [[Jets–Patriots rivalry|Jets–Patriots]] rivalries. The fact that Boston and New York City are only 190 miles apart contributes to it.

The teams have met nine times in the postseason. The last time was in the [[2012–13 NBA season|2012–13 season]], when [[Carmelo Anthony]] won the 2013 scoring title and helped them win the Atlantic Division for the first time since 1994. The Knicks faced the Celtics, who were without [[Rajon Rondo]] because of a mid-season injury, in the 1st round of the [[2013 NBA playoffs|2013 playoffs]]. In both games 1 and 2, Celtics had a lead going into halftime but were held to 25 and 23 points respectively in the second half, which was an all-time low for the franchise in the playoffs. Knicks gained a 3–0 lead in the series, but Boston avoided elimination in games 4 and 5. In game six, Knicks once led by 26 points in the fourth quarter, then the Celtics went onto a 20–0 run in less than 5 minutes to make it a close game, but Knicks still won and moved on to round 2.
