After Action Report
In Houston, the Celtics took care of the Rockets 124-106. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
