After Action Report

The Celtics rolled past the Kings 106-85. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Kings are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

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.
