After Action Report

The Kings shocked the Celtics 117-93. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
