After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics rolled past the Knicks 125-90. Celtics' offense had its way with the Knicks. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
