After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Kings 118-81. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
