After Action Report

The Rockets pulled away from the Celtics 124-112. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
