After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics rolled past the Knicks 121-97. Celtics torched the Knicks on the offensive end. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
