In Sacramento, the Kings buried the Celtics 118-96. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
