What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
