After Action Report

The Celtics pulled away from the Kings 116-100. Celtics' offense had its way with the Kings. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
