After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Rockets 102-97. Celtics torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
