After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Celtics 100-84. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Knicks. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
