After Action Report
In Boston, the Rockets snuck past the Celtics 105-104. Rockets torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
