After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Celtics 112-92. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
