After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Knicks 101-79. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
