After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings held off the Celtics 108-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
