Recap: Boston Celtics Take Control of Third Place in the East

In a game in which the Boston Celtics out-rebounded the Sacramento Kings 49 to 32 and shot lights out all game long, it’s hard to believe the final score was 128-119. The Celtics shot 56 percent from the field and 54 percent from behind the arc, one of their best shooting games all season. Everyone was on fire, offensively, and as a result they held a 21 point lead at one point. This was one of their worst defensive showings though, obviously considering they gave up 119 points, and that’s why they weren’t able to completely put away the Kings until the end.
