Coach Silas attributed the majority of turnovers to lack of experience against a switching defense like the one Boston used.
He said the team right now is more reactive, than proactive, but that they’ll watch film, work through things on the court tomorrow, and learn. – 9:40 PM

Rockets lead 30-22 after a quarter. Half court defense was excellent, minus a slip up from Augustin on the Celtics last possession of the quarter. Jalen Green and Christian Wood were excellent. Celtics are Jayson Tatum and a bunch of other guys – 7:35 PM

Ime Udoka says Jaylen Brown felt a little knee soreness in the Toronto game and tried to rest it, but it didn’t feel great yesterday. This is the same knee issue that kept him out a few games last year. Udoka thinks quick ramp up after quarantine and the 2OT game exacerbated it. – 5:35 PM
