FINAL SCORE: Celtics 111, Kings 109
IN BRIEF: After Willie Cauley-Stein's alley-oop slam with just a few ticks left on the shot clock closed Boston's lead to 107-106 with :20 to go, Marcus Morris pounced on a loose ball and smartly called timeout to save the Celtics' possession. Tatum sank his free throws out of the timeout, but Hield made all three of his free throws after getting fouled on a deep 3, to tie it at 109-all. Leave it to Gordon Hayward to come through huge again, this time coming down the lane with a euro-step with 2 ticks remaining. Harrison Barnes' deep 3 at the buzzer hit nothing but glass to allow the Celtics to go 2-0 on this west coast road swing.
CELTICS RECORD: 40-26, 3rd in Atlantic Division
