After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Celtics buried the Kings 127-100. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
