On March 19, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Celtics challenged the Kings away. Although it was an away game, the Greenshirts took the initiative from the first quarter, and the half-time widened the point difference to 20 points, and finally easily closed the game at 126-97, winning two consecutive games.
In this campaign, Kings center Sabonis performed well, shooting 30 points, 20 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, but Rao was so, or the excellent performance of the Green Army Twins overshadowed the light. Tatum scored 32 points on 12-of-16 shooting in the game, 7-of-10 from outside the three-point line, Brown scored 30 points on 11-of-18 shooting and 3-of-5 from outside the three-point line.
