After Action Report

The Celtics outlasted the Kings 115-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; the Kings sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
