After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics outlasted the Knicks 116-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
