After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets demolished the Celtics 115-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
