Celtics Vs. Knicks Score: Rajon Rondo Has Boston Leading, 29-23, After First Quarter

Amar’e Stoudemire is on the floor for the New York Knicks in their Game 4 against the Boston Celtics. But that’s not going to be enough if Rajon Rondo keeps taking big bites of the Big Apple.

Rondo tore up the Knicks’ defense in the first quarter, scoring nine points and dishing five assists to help stake the Celtics to a 29-23 lead after the first period. For a player Mike D’Antoni slammed before the game as a product of his teammates, that’s certainly a good start.

For the Knicks, the Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Show appears to be the featured attraction, as ever. But only one is lighting anything up so far: Anthony had 15 first quarter points to lead all scorers, while Stoudemire missed all six of his shots and had just one point in the first 12 minutes.
