After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Celtics 130-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
