After Action Report
In New York, the Celtics demolished the Knicks 110-87. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Knicks are in a full-on tailspin; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
