After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Rockets 123-122. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
