After Action Report

The Knicks survived the Celtics 128-126. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Knicks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
