After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the Kings 107-105. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
