After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Celtics 108-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
