00:00He's falling and get Russell loose in the open court, they're going to be in good shape.
00:04The Celtics have won seven games in a row, so they're real hot coming in here.
00:09Game between these two high-caliber teams.
00:12They're very athletic, they're tall and athletic.
00:15There's Tice taking it in for an easy two by P.J. Tucker.
00:19In the open court, James lost his dribble, and now the Celtics have the advantage.
00:25Kimba looks around, sees nobody coming, and hits the three.
00:28To avoid, the Celtics turn those turnovers into points.
00:33James with a step to the basket, he knew that wasn't going to get blocked.
00:40That's good to see tonight.
00:43Rockets come in here, and that's going right to the basket.
00:47Coming in from the other side, he had to turn it over and throw it down.
00:50Tice is only 6'8", but he's got pretty good hops.
00:53He's got long arms too, he plays bigger than 6'8".
00:55Yeah, he does.
00:58Three-point game, right out of the chute.
01:02Kimball Walker takes it inside, great move.
01:06Not that day-to-day drama that we're used to putting up with.
01:10Covington with a long three.
01:12That's about where he's going to be on average, but he's really good in the corners,
01:16over 40% in the corners.
01:20Made him inside for two.
01:21Shot clock at eight seconds.
01:28Harden and Hayward.
01:31Harden gets the best of him.
01:32But I think Tatum, Brown, Walker, that's a very athletic group, and he hasn't had success
01:38getting to the basket quite that easy until now.
01:40Oh, inside the takeaway on the turnover.
01:43Where's James going with it?
01:47Packle.
01:49Oh, Ben Boy.
01:50Did not hit enough against Utah.
01:54Rojelais keeps the ball moving.
01:57The Brown.
01:57Rojelais with a good box out.
02:00He's been doing good on the boards as he's been a big part of the small lineup off the bench.
02:04Tabo plays big.
02:06Corner, he takes it into Tice.
02:08I don't know if Smart got that in the way.
02:10He blocked it.
02:11And it's going to be a foul the other way, and they're going to count the basket.
02:16Both about 6-3, and they're very quick.
02:20Oh, Austin Rivers wide open.
02:23Good pass there from Tabo.
02:24Wide open.
02:25Somebody missed an assignment.
02:26And it came right back to him.
02:31So now somebody, the Rockets didn't even approach the three-point line on their defense.
02:36This is a layup.
02:38He got hit.
02:40Now the Celtics with the advantage.
02:42Taking it down the court.
02:44Easy basket by Jalen Brown, and a timeout taken.
02:47Some buckets.
02:48The Rockets shooting only 29% from the field.
02:52Both teams really playing good defense.
02:55There's Westbrook.
02:56A little too much fancy stuff.
03:01A little too much fancy stuff.
03:04Court very much.
03:06Look at the rebounding.
03:07Rockets.
03:09Now by two in the rebounding department.
03:12James.
03:13Got it.
03:14Finally.
03:14Taking it inside for two more.
03:23Smaller guard.
03:25Here's House.
03:26To the right.
03:29I like how House attacks him now.
03:31He doesn't always know about those guys.
03:33Gordon Hayward.
03:38That's his first shot.
03:40Gordon Hayward.
03:45There he is.
03:49Kimball Walker back the other way.
03:52Got to get back on defense.
03:53Smart.
03:54Takes it in the corner.
03:56Hayward for three.
03:59Marcus Smart.
04:01Kimball Walker.
04:04Overcoming.
04:05Got it.
04:07Bad pass by Smart.
04:09Over to James.
04:10James has help.
04:12Goes to Russell.
04:13There it is.
04:13Ties it up at 47.
04:16Oh, House is open.
04:17Going to go to Covington.
04:18Covington had it blocked by Tatum.
04:20He just too long.
04:22And he throws it up.
04:23I don't know what that was.
04:25But it worked.
04:27Made it take a real tough shot there.
04:32Russell Westbrook.
04:33So the Rockets.
04:35Two quick shots coming out of the game.
04:39Russell.
04:39Right back to the middle.
04:41And lays it up.
04:41That's six straight points for Houston.
04:46James took pass.
04:48Over to Russell.
04:49Takes a tour through the lane.
04:51What a layup.
04:51How did that go in?
04:53Westbrook has now scored 20 or more points in 26 straight games.
04:58The other night when he didn't have to.
05:00And he'll learn.
05:01Shot clock is a factor now as James puts it up and in.
05:06P.J. is all alone.
05:07And he missed.
05:09That's not his corner.
05:11Gordon Hayward gets it out to Brown.
05:14Hits a three.
05:16Everyone around him better.
05:17When you see your leader giving 100%, never taking a day off.
05:20It gets you pumped up.
05:21It gets you fired up.
05:22And he may be better.
05:25Rockets have played 25 seconds or 23 seconds of good defense.
05:31There's Harden putting it up.
05:33And he answers a three.
05:35Fall for a week and get his legs back.
05:38He's been playing heavy minutes all season long.
05:41Nice for him to get back that three-point stroke.
05:44Hayward now trying to get into the game.
05:46Good boy.
05:52James backs up and fires and hits.
05:55Now he's come to the party.
05:5811-point lead.
06:00Biggest of the game for the Rockets.
06:02Hayward walks it right in.
06:03He is pretty big and strong.
06:09Harden again.
06:10Sparks right up in the kitchen.
06:11Steps back and fires.
06:13Hits again.
06:15James Harden says, come on and get me.
06:17In this border.
06:18We can turn it on.
06:19We've seen it game after game.
06:20Marcus Smart with a three.
06:24He answers.
06:2611 down.
06:26The defensive stops.
06:28Hayward gets it into the paint area and lays it up.
06:32Now, what a great move that was by Gordon Hayward.
06:34To play both teams and the penalty.
06:39Drive all the way to the basket.
06:41That can't happen.
06:42Wanamaker.
06:45Wanamaker.
06:46Picked up by Seppelosha.
06:47Missed it badly.
06:48Oh, that shouldn't happen.
06:52And they try to go for the steal.
06:54And Russell lost the ball.
06:57And it's going to end up a fast break at the other end for Brown.
07:02Rockets need some stops now.
07:03Don't let them get off.
07:04And there's a layup.
07:06Two baskets in a row.
07:08And Mike D'Antoni flies off that bench.
07:10Might put the skis on and check that out.
07:12Good ball movement.
07:13Set up Covington for a three and he missed it.
07:15Right now, the Celtics on a 12-4 run the last three minutes.
07:20Make it 14-4 run.
07:22He's smart kind of edging over.
07:24And that leaves Russell open because Russell doesn't shoot that three very much.
07:28But he does do that.
07:29There's more than one way to make a three.
07:33You can make a two and get fouled.
07:37Five quick ones.
07:39Brown.
07:40Back to Wanamaker.
07:41Kick and shoot.
07:43Now the double team comes.
07:45They want to get it out of his hands.
07:46Russell.
07:47Back outside to James.
07:48A little head fake.
07:49Puts up the three.
07:50Got it.
07:51Beautiful play by James Harden.
07:53That's pretty hard.
07:55Good.
07:56Russell all the way to the basket.
07:59He was just a blur.
08:01Comes out onto somebody.
08:03Now he's just guarding the corner.
08:05They go inside the Tice for two and one.
08:10House has to pick up Kimba Walker.
08:13Hayward.
08:15Gives it back to Walker.
08:17Misses on the three badly.
08:18Russell in the open court.
08:20Russell all the way to the basket.
08:22Rockets.
08:23Both teams in the penalty.
08:27Kimba to Brown.
08:29Hits.
08:31And he has 19 points.
08:35James loses the basketball.
08:38Tatum with a slam.
08:46Great move.
08:47Gordon Hayward with 20 points.
08:51He keeps the scoring going.
08:52There it is.
08:53Reversal for two.
08:55You saw it.
08:56And Brad Stephens saw it.
08:59Outside now.
09:00They give it up.
09:01Covington with a three.
09:02And it's just a bit short.
09:04And Russell goes to get it.
09:06Brown fell down.
09:07Russell gives it up.
09:09And it goes for House.
09:13Stephens.
09:14The Celtics still have one more game to play before the All-Star break.
09:18They go to Minnesota for a couple of nights.
09:21And there's Harden.
09:22Putting a capper on this game tonight.
09:23I know we can win with this small lineup.
09:27This is a team he likes to coach.
09:31And he gets a big win going into the All-Star break.
09:33And he goes,
09:56Oh.
