After Action Report
The Kings survived the Celtics 117-116. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
