After Action Report

The Knicks outlasted the Celtics 116-98. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
