*On Tuesday, Rajon Rondo played an entire half for the first time this season.
*Rondo has multiple steals in each of his last 3 games, his longest streak this season.
–The last time he went 4 games in a row was December 2012.
*With 2 more 3-pointers, Jeff Green would match his single-season career-high for 3-pointers made (104 in 2009-10 with the Thunder).
–He is just 16 free throws made away from matching his single-season career-high in that category (242 in 2008-09 with the Thunder).
*The Knicks are 1-30 when trailing at halftime this season (worst record in the NBA).
–The Celtics are 2-30 when trailing at halftime this season.
*The Knicks are 1-32 when trailing at the end of 3 quarters this season (also worst record in the NBA).
–The Celtics are 3-33 when trailing at the end of 3 quarters this season.
–1 of those 3 victories was on December 13 when the Celtics hosted the Knicks at TD Garden.
*The Knicks are 10-0 this season when scoring at least 110 points in a non-overtime game.
*The Knicks’ turnover percentage is 12.4 percent, the 3rd-best mark in the league this season.
*13 of Rajon Rondo’s 15 shot attempts on Tuesday were contested.
–He made just 4 of those 13 contested shot attempts.
*On this date in Celtics history: Larry Bird scored a franchise-best 60 points at Atlanta.
*Recent Meetings: Celtics vs. Knicks
–Maybe this one is a stretch, but in regular-season history, the last time either of these teams did not win two or more consecutive games in Boston was 1983.
–A Knicks win on Wednesday would break that 31-year streak of not alternating wins (as in win-loss-win) in Boston.
