After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Celtics 114-83. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks are in a full-on tailspin; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
