One game doesn't make a rivalry, but after needing a last-second shot to seal Boston's 118-116 win Tuesday at Madison Square Garden -- and relying on instant replay to prove Amar'e Stoudemire's potential game-winner was too late -- Paul Pierce is now willing to admit the Knicks have their attention.
"The Knicks have arrived,'' Pierce said in a postgame television interview. "They're going to be a force to reckon with in the division.''
After trailing by as many as 12 in game, the Celtics closed the gap in the fourth quarter and took the lead for good on Pierce's 14-footer from the elbow with 0.4 seconds left. After using a timeout to advance the ball to half court, New York's Landry Fields inbounded the ball to Stoudemire, who drained a 3-pointer from the top of the arc.
For at least a few moments it seemed as if the Knicks had their signature win of the young season, but referees realized after viewing the replay that Stoudemire released the ball just tenths of a second too late.
