After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Knicks 98-85. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; the Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
