After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Knicks 132-95. Celtics torched the Knicks on the offensive end. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Knicks; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

- Knicks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
