After Action Report

The Kings survived the Celtics 115-112. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
