After Action Report

The Rockets pulled away from the Celtics 116-98. Rockets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
