After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings outlasted the Celtics 114-100. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
