After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the Kings 125-108. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
