After Action Report

The Knicks squeaked past the Celtics 104-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
