After Action Report
The Knicks snuck past the Celtics 107-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
