After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Knicks 113-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
