After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Kings 103-97. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
