After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Celtics 106-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
