ANSWERS Saturday, February 25 Game 1 – Celtics 42, Kings 41 The Celts & Kings were in a close contest to start the weekend – Back n Forth to the delight of the coaches – but the Black attack couldn’t pull off another buzzer-beater this time, sadly.

Pierre who lit up the fourth quarter for his squad by scoring 10 of his game-high 16 as the Kings got a much-needed win after a tough loss yesterday.
