After Action Report
The Knicks buried the Celtics 131-90. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Knicks stayed locked in. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
