After Action Report
In a grind-it-out battle, the Celtics blew the doors off the Rockets 118-96. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
