Celtics snap winning streak with 116-105 loss to Rockets

Error 0:

The Boston Celtics snapped their seven game winning streak with a 116-105 loss to the Houston Rockets. The Celtics suffered from some sloppy play (18 turnovers), some not so great shooting (42 percent), and some tough officiating on Houston's star players. It' tough to come back on the road against a very good team with all of those circumstances working against you.

As has been the national story since last week's trade deadline, the Celtics were matching up against the new-look Rockets. Houston sported a starting lineup with PJ Tucker at center, who stands a whopping 6'5".
