After Action Report

The Celtics squeaked past the Kings 114-111. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
