After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Celtics 110-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Celtics are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
