The Boston Celtics 114-97 loss to the Sacramento Kings at TD Garden this past Friday (Jan. 10) night was as ugly as they come. The Celtics led the game at various points by as much as 9 points, but could not maintain sufficient focus to put away an 18-19 ball club without their best player on the court.

A competitive game Friday night turned ugly late for the Celtics, who were run off their home floor by the shorthanded Sacramento Kings.

In the Celtics' last 10 games, they are a .500 ball club with the same roster they won the title with last summer, by and large.

The Boston Celtics fell 114-97 at home to the Sacramento Kings Friday night after falling apart in the fourth quarter. Sacramento outscored Boston 38-21 in the final period, dropping the Celtics to 27-11 for the season.

The Sacramento Kings are officially back on track after taking down the Boston Celtics on the road in a 114-97 statement victory. The win puts the Kings at .500 on the year as they'll look to continue building on a six-game win streak.

Domantas Sabonis had 23 points and a career-high 28 rebounds and the Sacramento Kings used a fourth quarter rally to beat the Boston Celtics 114-97.
