Trailing late in the third quarter and dealing with serious foul trouble, the Celtics needed a lift. Enter Payton Pritchard and Luke Kornet, who didn’t play in the first half but delivered what their team needed.

Defend. Rebound. Run. Shoot. Score. Power the lasers and light the beam.
That’s the formula for success in Sacramento. Kings coach Mike Brown wants his team to find a defensive identity without losing its way offensivley.
All that and more right here

If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. The Kings just aren’t there yet. After a slow start, the Kings battled back against the Celtics. But a 19-0 run in the late 3rd, early 4th did them in. Here are 6 quick thoughts from the 122-104 blowout loss. – 10:23 PM

Mike Brown got a tech before the timeout, and after the timeout was called, another technical was called on a Sacramento assistant, so Boston will get 2 free throws out of the break – 8:21 PM

Kings coach Mike Brown stands up for his guy and gets hit with a technical foul. De’Aaron Fox clearly got tripped up from behind there. Celtics up 13-6 early. Kings are 2 of 12. – 8:21 PM

Horford blocks Murray and hits a 3 after a perfect shooting night on Wednesday. Murray’s 0/4, #kings are 2/11 and #Celtics lead 11-6 after a Tatum transition finish through Huerter’s foul. – 8:19 PM

Solid defense early in this game from the Kings. Struggling to get shots to fall, but there seems to be lids on both baskets. 6-6 tie with 7:54 minutes left in the 1Q. – 8:17 PM

That’s outstanding ball movement ending in that Derrick White triple. Unselfish extra pass by Jaylen Brown to make it happen. – 8:15 PM

Chatted briefly with Domantas Sabonis before he faces his old teammate Malcolm Brogdon tonight in Boston. #Pacers years didn’t go quite the way they would’ve hoped, but now they’re huge pieces of the league’s two best offenses — the #Celtics and #Kings.

Mike Brown echoed Joe Mazzulla prioritizing quick shots within the flow of the offense when you find open space. He said the #Warriors tried to do that against the #Celtics, and it’s aimed at catching the defense retreating and disconnected from assignments. For SAC it opens OREB – 6:42 PM
