After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Celtics 130-120. Knicks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
