Celtics Extend Streak with Win Over Kings

The Boston Celtics secured a 113-95 win over the Sacramento Kings, marking their sixth consecutive victory despite a scare from a third-quarter injury to star player Jayson Tatum, who sprained his left ankle after a collision with Domantas Sabonis. Tatum had already contributed significantly with 25 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists before his exit. Payton Pritchard played a critical role off the bench, scoring 22 points to help the Celtics maintain their lead. The win improves the Celtics' record to 52-19 as they continue their Western Conference road trip with an upcoming game against the Phoenix Suns. Boston's lineup was bolstered by the return of Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jrue Holiday, though Brown and others have dealt with recent injuries. The Celtics remain focused on securing a high playoff seed and preparing for another deep postseason run.
