After Action Report
The Celtics downed the Kings 118-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
