After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings took care of the Celtics 115-101. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
