Well, this one started off nicely. Fortunately the Celtics were able to hold on in the end against the sub-.500 Kings, winning 97-92.
Boston had a 13-point lead in the first quarter, but the second unit let Sacramento back into the game and it was tied after one. The game remained close after that with both teams taking leads at various points of the contest. Boston was barely able to maintain its lead in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
A positive note came from Al Horford's shot count. After only shooting five times in the loss to the Pistons, Horford took 11 shots in the first half and finished with 18 shots.
