After Action Report
The Knicks survived the Celtics 103-101. The Knicks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
