After Action Report

In New York, the Knicks buried the Celtics 144-112. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
