After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Kings 92-89. Celtics torched the Kings on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
