After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Kings 120-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
