In a track meet, the Celtics edged the Knicks 120-113. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
