After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings blew the doors off the Celtics 112-89. Kings torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
