After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Rockets 105-100. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
