After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Knicks 128-104. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
