After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets blew the doors off the Celtics 139-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
