After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics blew the doors off the Kings 129-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
