After Action Report
The Kings held off the Celtics 106-100. Kings' offense had its way with the Celtics. Fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
