After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Rockets 123-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
