After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Celtics 138-104. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
