After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Kings 121-117 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
