Green is Red Hot

NEW YORK - Less than a week ago, the Celtics were doing the limbo. At 1-6, they had achieved the franchise’s worst start in 28 years and were listing toward Secaucus. How low could they go? Apparently the Bostonians were unwilling to lower themselves any further for the time being. With last night’s 122-118 victory over the Knicks, the Celts have won three straight for the first time in 19 months.
