After an undefeated week, the Boston Celtics finally came back down to earth against the Houston Rockets. Kevin Durant and co. came into TD Garden and put an absolute beatdown on the Cs, 128-101.
Here’s what stood out:
The Celtics felt absolutely outmatched
This was the sort of game that you could’ve watched without any type of scoreboard and known exactly how close it was. These two teams were on different planets. Every offensive possession felt like a struggle for the Celtics. Houston made them fight for every clean look they got.
Even when Boston managed to score, the Rockets would just come down the other end and effortlessly put up a few points.
