After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Kings 119-111. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
