After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics outlasted the Knicks 118-106. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
