After Action Report

The Celtics blew the doors off the Kings 124-97. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

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.
