The Kings took care of the Celtics 110-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
