After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics squeaked past the Kings 105-103. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
