After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics survived the Knicks 102-98. Celtics torched the Knicks on the offensive end. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Knicks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
