After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Knicks 96-84. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics; 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. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
