After Action Report
In a track meet, the Knicks squeaked past the Celtics 100-95. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
