Usually at home when the playoffs start, the New York Knicks will be on their home court this time.
The Knicks improved to 40-31 and moved into a tie with the idle Atlanta Hawks for the fourth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Julius Randle had 25 points, nine rebounds and nine assists for the Knicks, who are a half-game behind Atlanta as they battle the Hawks and Miami for the final home-court position in the East.
When the Celtics lost to the Cavs on Wednesday night, it ended the Knicks' seven-year playoff drought.

A feisty Chris Paul had 17 points and 11 assists, Deandre Ayton scored 26 points and the Suns stayed in the hunt for the top record in the NBA by beating the Knicks 128-105 on Friday night.
This one got away from New York early. The Knicks committed three fouls in the game's first 22 seconds and coach Tom Thibodeau was hit with a technical 28 seconds in. Things got worse from there.

The Knicks won all three meetings against the Hawks this season. New York had not swept Atlanta since winning all three games during the 2012-13 season.
Barrett's offense and the Knicks' defense changed the game after the Hornets scored 66 points in the first half. New York held Charlotte to just 31 after halftime.
