The Boston Celtics will attempt to build upon the momentum gained Tuesday in their blowout win over the Golden State Warriors when they resurface Wednesday night in Sacramento for the second half of a back-to-back against the Kings.
Boston had lost five of six before tipping off a week-long, four-game trip with a 128-95 pounding of the two-time defending champions in a national showcase game.
It was the third time this season that the Celtics won the opener of a consecutive-nights sequence on the road. They failed to complete the sweep on the previous two occasions.
Boston coach Brad Stevens noted to reporters before Tuesday's game that the key to sustained success in the NBA is to enjoy the ride.
