After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Kings 132-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
