The Celtics continued their recent streak of success with a win Monday night against the Rockets in Houston. The C's trailed by four after the first quarter, tied things up at 55 by halftime, and rode a 32-13 3rd quarter run to an eventual victory.
The common theme throughout the game was Houston's overall lack of effort. They threw lazy passes and continuously failed to get back on defense. I'm not sure what's going on with Kevin McHale's squad but they didn't even want to be on the floor tonight. Scal and Mike Gorman commented numerous times on how quiet the arena was and how the Rockets' PA announcer even sounded depressed.
