After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Knicks 135-131. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
