After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Knicks 105-102. Celtics' offense had its way with the Knicks. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Knicks lately. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. 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.
- 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.
