After Action Report

The Kings survived the Celtics 116-111 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
