After Action Report

The Kings outlasted the Celtics 113-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Kings; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
