After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics held off the Knicks 104-98. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
