After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Rockets 108-107. Celtics torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
