After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings edged the Celtics 112-105. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
