Even though the contest was never really in doubt with the Houston Rockets’ biggest lead vs. the Boston Celtics on Sunday night a mere 1 point in the opening moments of the tilt, the Rockets put up a good fight in the game’s second half of Boston’s 116-107 win.
The Celtics saw four of their five starters score in double figures in the road victory, including a triple-double by Jaylen Brown (13 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists). Kristaps Porzingis led all scorers with 32 points, 6 boards, and 5 blocks, with Derrick White (21 points, 11 rebounds), and Jayson Tatum (18 points, 7 boards) all contributing to the win.
With the win, the Celtics improve to 33-10 on the season and a 3.5 game lead over the Milwaukee Bucks in holding the Eastern Conference’s top spot.
