After Action Report

The Celtics squeaked past the Knicks 109-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
