After Action Report
In New York, the Celtics squeaked past the Knicks 106-102. Celtics' offense had its way with the Knicks. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
