James empathized with the players on both teams, who suffered a burnout owing to the high octane battle. The match will go down in the history books as one of the best season openers of all time.
Derrick Rose, who struggled in his shooting during the night, made up during the clutch with a layup, giving the Knicks a lead. The Celtics’ new coach Ime Udoka had quite the debut in his new job.
