After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics outlasted the Rockets 118-112. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
