After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Celtics 115-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
