After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Knicks 109-87. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
