After Action Report

In Boston, the Celtics survived the Kings 106-105. Celtics controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
