After Action Report
The Knicks shocked the Celtics 133-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
