#Celtics scrap out the final basket and lead at half, 64-62.
1. No bench bigs again (0 min. for Kornet/Vonleh/Griffin)
2. Hauser -7, Brogdon +1, Grant +0
3. Tatum and the offense got complacent early in the 2nd and opened the door, defense collapsed and #Kings scored 40 in 2Q – 9:12 PM

GREAT response by the Kings in the 2nd Q. Huge spark off the bench by KZ, Davion and Monk.
You need everyone on the 3rd game in 4 nights vs. an elite team.
Kings had 10 turnovers in the 1st quarter and just two in the 2nd. Keep battling. – 9:09 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. Big one tonight at 8 EST. pic.twitter.com/KMVjfOnste – 7:09 PM

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

Joe Mazzulla on how today’s TD Garden double-header affects the team’s preparation for our matchup with Sacramento: “It doesn’t. You gotta be ready to play – and we will.” – 6:19 PM

Wrote about the Kings’ fast start, including the shot-quality data indicating their defense might be better than it’s looked so far (but their offense might not be as good): es.pn/3EBeFuN (ESPN+) – 6:05 PM

Very interested to see how the Kings stack up against the league leading Celtics. I expect them to be competitive and have a chance in the 4th quarter. – 5:41 PM

John Y cont: Brown then bought (1M) co-ownership of Buffalo Braves (nee Paper Clips) whom he swapped for Celtics in ‘78. He then traded 3 No. 1s to NYK for Bob McAdoo, sans Red Auerbach’s knowledge. Red threatened 2 join Knicks. It forced sale to partner Harry Mangurian…cont – 3:07 PM
