After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Celtics 115-110. Rockets torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
