After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Rockets 110-87. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
