After Action Report
The Kings knocked off the Celtics 106-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
