After Action Report
The Rockets held off the Celtics 119-111. Rockets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
