After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Rockets 118-90. Celtics torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
