After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Knicks 128-101. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
