"Chris Wilcox spent the first half of the Celtics' 91-89 win over the New York Knicks last night either on the bench or on the floor fumbling away passes.

But, during a crucial stretch in the second half, Wilcox started getting his hands on rebounds and finishing plays as the Celtics rallied. Wilcox grabbed four offensive rebounds, including a follow off a Paul Pierce airball, during a 19-8 Celtics run.

"Chris Wilcox was down,'' coach Doc Rivers said of Wilcox's first half. "He bobbled a couple balls, he had his head down. And all I just told him is, 'We play forward, all right?' I said, 'Can't get any of those back.' And I thought he, Paul, obviously - but I thought Chris Wilcox was the hero. Him and Avery [Bradley], their defensive intensity changed the game.''"
