After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics buried the Knicks 113-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
