After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Knicks 124-98. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
