After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Knicks 126-86. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
