After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Knicks 128-118. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Knicks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
