After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Celtics 113-81. Rockets' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
