After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Knicks 103-101. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
