After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Celtics edged the Kings 122-115. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
