After Action Report

The Celtics ran roughshod over the Rockets 131-99. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
