After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Celtics 126-98. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
