After Action Report

The Celtics snuck past the Rockets 112-108. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
