After Action Report
The Kings edged the Celtics 103-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
