  "account": "In a season-opening win for the Boston Celtics, the team managed to defeat the New York Knicks 107-103 at TD Garden. Deuce McBride, who came off the Knicks' bench, scored 23 points, including six three-pointers, proving to be a challenge for the Celtics' defense. Despite their early lead, the Celtics struggled to maintain that advantage, as the Knicks managed to claw their way back. The game remained competitive until the end, with Jayson Tatum delivering clutch shots to help Boston hold on for the victory. The win demonstrated the Celtics' resilience, but also highlighted the difficulty in stopping a determined opponent when they get hot from beyond the arc.",
  "summary": "McBride caught fire from deep and helped New York make a late push, but Boston made the plays it needed to secure its first win.",
