After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Celtics 122-110. Rockets' offense had its way with the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
