After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Celtics 116-113. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
