After Action Report
The Knicks upended the Celtics 123-105. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Knicks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat. 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.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
