After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Rockets 106-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
