The Celtics, at full strength, beat the Knicks, who were resting their starters. But the Celtics looked good for most of the first half before hitting a little bit of a lull. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal breaks down the things he liked (Porzingis looking good again, Al Horford energy off the bench, Jayson Tatum shooting), disliked (poor rebounding, Jaylen Brown's turnovers, a general lack of clarity), and things that made him go hmmm (the substitution pattern).
