The Kings no longer play at Sleep Train Arena, but that didn’t keep the Celtics from sleepwalking in Sacramento. Boston’s seven game winning streak came to an end against an inferior opponent, in a game that featured sloppy play and a subpar effort on both ends of the court. And this was against a Kings team that didn’t have DeMarcus Cousins, who was suspended for the game after accumulating his 16th technical foul of the season, which triggers and automatic suspension.
The Celtics finished the night with 18 turnovers and shot just 39.7% from the field.
