After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Kings 119-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
