The Knicks were blown out 118-105 on Sunday by the Celtics and, despite still sporting a 37-20 record, are now 0-7 against Boston, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Oklahoma City Thunder this season—the top three teams in the NBA. To add insult to injury, New York's Josh Hart was assessed a $2,000 postgame flopping fine by the NBA on Monday.

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart gave a hilarious “Oscars” take after receiving a $2,000 fine for flopping against the Boston Celtics. This decision comes on the heels of New York’s tough 118-105 loss to its Eastern Conference rival.

The Celtics now own a four-game lead over the Knicks and the head-to-head tiebreaker for the two-seed in the East (Boston still trails Cleveland by six games for the top seed). The two teams will square off one final time in the regular season when they meet at Madison Square Garden on April 8.

The Knicks have made it to the second round of the playoffs in each of the last two years, but they have been unable to get over the hump and make it to the Eastern Conference Fin

Jaylen Brown said the Celtics weren’t trying to send a message in their 118-105 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday afternoon at Boston’s TD Garden. The win was the Celtics' third this season against a Knicks squad that wants to be considered among the Eastern Conference's - if not the NBA's - elite.
