After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Rockets 143-93. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
