After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Knicks 126-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
What tipped it
