After Action Report
In Boston, the Knicks outlasted the Celtics 97-89. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. The Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
