After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Celtics 100-98. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
