After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Celtics 94-93. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
