After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics snuck past the Kings 128-123. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
