After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Knicks 119-99. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
