After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Kings 135-96. Celtics torched the Kings on the offensive end. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
