After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Knicks 130-118 in overtime. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
