After Action Report
The Knicks edged the Celtics 104-97. Every possession went the Knicks way. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
