After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Rockets 109-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
