To this point, the Boston Celtics’ six-game road trip has been about mercurial as you could have expected. They’ve picked up quality wins against Minnesota and Portland, but at the same time, dropped winnable contests against Houston and Utah as well. A 4-2 stretch of games (dating back to their March 8 blowout over the Blazers) feels like it could have been a 6-0 one, if not for a few bad breaks.
For their last showing prior to their return to Boston, the Celtics faced off with Sacramento Kings — the third seed in the Western Conference, entering the night’s action.
