On-court bickering led to technical fouls for both players in the final minutes of Boston's 102-96 victory. After the game Anthony attempted to confront Garnett multiple times.
He ended up being suspended for one game for his off-the-court actions following that defeat, which began the current stretch of four losses in six games for the Knicks (25-14).
Anthony said he's put the incident in the past and his focus is just to win Thursday. New York has dropped 13 straight meetings in Boston -- including the postseason -- dating back to a 101-77 victory Nov. 24, 2006.
Boston (20-21), meanwhile, is on the verge of a season-worst fifth straight defeat following a season-best six-game winning streak. The Celtics fell 95-90 at last-place Cleveland on Tuesday and also have double-digit losses to sub-.500 teams New Orleans and Detroit during their skid.
Rajon Rondo, who was serving a one-game suspension for the last meeting with the Knicks, had 17 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists Tuesday. Paul Pierce, though, scored 12 points while going 3 for 15 from the field and is shooting 32.4 percent over his last five.
Rondo is averaging 19.3 points and 13.1 assists in his last seven games versus New York, including the playoffs.
