BOSTON: Payton Pritchard had 21 points, including five 3-pointers, and the Boston Celtics held off a late charge to beat the Sacramento Kings 101-100 on Friday (Saturday in Manila).

Kristaps Porzingis added 20 points and 11 rebounds — his second straight double-double — to help the NBA's top team claim its 12th consecutive win at home one game after clinching home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. They've won 13 of their last 15.
