After Action Report

The Celtics blew the doors off the Kings 113-87. Celtics torched the Kings on the offensive end. Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Kings are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
