After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the Kings 109-93. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
