After Action Report
The Knicks squeaked past the Celtics 118-115 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
