After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Rockets 120-118. Celtics torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
