After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Knicks 124-101. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
