Here are the takeaways as the Celtics beat the Rockets 107-97 on Sunday to earn the first win of Ime Udoka’s career as a head coach.
1. The Celtics soaked Udoka (and the game ball) with water in the locker room after the win.
“I told the guys it’s overdue,” Udoka quipped to reporters. “It took you too long to get it. Thank Jaylen [Brown] and Romeo [Langford] for helping, seeing as how they sat out tonight.”
Then he got serious.
“It’s good to get a win, not just for the first, but to get us rolling on the right foot,” he said.
