After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Knicks 126-113. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
