After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Knicks 107-104. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
