After Action Report
The Kings rolled past the Celtics 131-95. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
