After Action Report
The Knicks stunned the Celtics 98-97. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
