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.
