A week after defeating the Rockets 113-145 at TD Garden, the Celtics will play them again. Boston is the NBA’s greatest squad right now and a strong favorite to win the championship this season.
Joe Mazzulla’s team has risen to the top of the Eastern Conference thanks to the performances of two of the greatest players in the league, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
The Rockets will be driven to try to exact revenge on their opponent and win in Houston because they are vying for a spot in the top half of the table. However, they will need to play at their best if they hope to defeat Joe Mazzula’s team.

Following their historic win in the first-ever In-Season Tournament, which sent them flying above the whole NBA, the team saw a precipitous downturn marked by loss after loss, internal strife, and a lack of fluidity in their play.
This tendency, which is characterized by a constant ebb and flow, doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. The Lakers can staunch the bleeding when things get serious, but they are able to avoid reaching the bottom with both hands—despite coming dangerously near several times. On Tuesday, the purple and gold scored a critical victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder (112-105), following two heartbreaking missteps against the Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz.
Leading the assault were LeBron James and Anthony Davis in a show of strength. They scored 52 points total, with the small forward scoring 25 and the power forward scoring 27. Davis pulled down 15 rebounds as well. The Lakers showed their defensive skill, particularly in the second half when they used a zone strategy that appeared to be well-planned rather than improvised, despite some vulnerabilities in their frontline. The Thunder struggled, shooting 15 of 49 from beyond the arc, as Davis and Wood under the basket pushed OKC to redirect their offensive flow from the perimeter.
