Those who are healthy enough to play had the audacity to think they could just show up and beat another struggling team, the New York Knicks, in the first game after the All-Star break.

BOSTON (AP) -The Boston Garden crowd rose to cheer for the newest Celtics All-Star, and Ray Allen didn't even look up. After all, Boston's lead over the New York Knicks was withering away and the most important thing on his mind was, still, winning. ``I was focused on what we were doing,'' said Allen, who was informed of his addition to the All-Star team at halftime of the Knicks game, Boston's last before the break. ``We wanted to win the game.
