00:00And welcome to TD Garden.

00:05Happy Saturday night.

00:06We got a good one for you as the Celtics.

00:08Winners of three in a row take on the Rockets, who have won two in a row.

00:12Can't wait to watch this one with you.

00:13Alongside Brian Scalabrini and Abby Chin, I'm Drew Carter.

00:16And Scal, the Rockets were good last year, and then they added Kevin Durant.

00:19Yeah, we know what Kevin Durant can do.

00:21He's a big-time scorer, and that's what they need.

00:23And he's doing more than just the typical pull-up jumpers of three.

00:26He's also doing a good job off the ball, cutting to the basket.

00:29Let's check the starting lineups brought to you by Jordan's Furniture.

00:32Experience the difference.

00:34Josh Minot remains in the starting five for the Celtics with Pritchard, White, Brown, and Kata.

00:38For the Rockets, these guys are big.

00:40Their average height, it's about 6'8 1⁄2".

00:43Thompson, Akogi, Durant, Smith, Shengun.

00:46Key matchup presented by Subaru of New England.

00:48Fall in love with a brand-new all-wheel drive Subaru.

00:50Do we really have to discuss this key matchup right now?

00:53Torn ACL before the season.

00:55He'll miss the entire year.

00:56Dorian Finney-Smith apparently getting closer to a comeback for the Rockets,

01:00which will make them even more deep and even better on the defensive end,

01:03where they're already tremendous.

01:06Rockets, an elite rebounding team, especially on the offensive side of the floor.

01:10There goes a man, Thompson, super quick.

01:15Good chance by you early on.

01:16Just doing what I can, Scott.

01:19Dwight, the baseline drive in the first two for the season.

01:22Good to see Derek White getting to the baskets.

01:24And I've been on Kata about getting out of screens.

01:26Did an excellent job that time.

01:29Nemi getting better, feels like, with every game.

01:31Now defending Shengun.

01:32That's an animal.

01:33He is a herky-jerky pig.

01:36Durant, eyes the shot clock.

01:38Minot with the late help and good hands.

01:40Kata riding shotgun.

01:42Minot gives it to him.

01:43Kata, and one!

01:44It's 31-10 on the second night of a back-to-back.

01:49That is impressive.

01:52Josh Okoge, in addition for the Rockets this year,

01:54finds the wide open of M. Thompson for three.

01:58With E-man to help.

02:03Brown with the shot clock getting low.

02:05Attacks.

02:06It was not away, but it went in.

02:09Watch that replay.

02:10I thought Okoge got a piece of the ball.

02:12Right in.

02:13First two for JB.

02:15Durant gets it right back.

02:16That is a professional score.

02:1830,000 points.

02:20Breakthrough, eventually.

02:21He's going to have a huge game.

02:25Okoge in front of the Celtics bench for three.

02:28There's a Koge.

02:32Brown sees two behind the back.

02:34To Kata, spit it out for White.

02:36Three ball is good.

02:37Celtic basketball.

02:38Good job by Kata on that cut.

02:40In every full season, he's played with the Celtics.

02:43So, this is abnormal for him.

02:44Expect him to break out of it soon.

02:47Cengu driving kick.

02:48Rockets had it well spaced.

02:50To Kogi again.

02:51Timeout Joe Mazumin.

02:54Pritchard's been so good in that mid-post area.

02:57What a bad.

02:58How's it going to get a hand out of it?

02:59There's Smith Jr. on the jam.

03:01Super physical on the dribble, but not when they go up to shoot.

03:06Brown, that's tough.

03:07Talking to the Houston bench a little bit, and then takes a spill.

03:12It was...

03:12I knew right away.

03:14Not bad.

03:14But by the time I was down 20, I now knew what it was like.

03:17It was over.

03:18Brown the kick.

03:20Ugo!

03:21Patrice!

03:22Good job on the catch and shoot.

03:30There's Durant with a low dribble handoff.

03:32He still hasn't missed.

03:34Yeah, Ugo cannot go underneath a Steven Adams dribble handoff

03:37with Kevin Durant.

03:39Simons, big step back.

03:41Three ball.

03:47Simons matched up with KD.

03:48He got the block.

03:50Those long arms.

03:51Durant playing some defense.

03:53Reach Shepard's in the game.

03:54He zips it over to Eason for three.

03:57Put a buck 39 on the Raptors.

03:59And then 137 on the Nets.

04:02Jalen Brown with the left hand.

04:03Shengu will a deep three from the big man.

04:09Adams couldn't secure the rebound.

04:12He does now.

04:12Simons went into the courtside seats.

04:1714 to 6, but it's not because we're not getting bored.

04:22These guys just aren't missing shots.

04:24Shepard, right there, is that.

04:30Shepard, the hit ahead.

04:31Shengu to Thompson.

04:32Can't put it in.

04:33Alper and Shengu.

04:34What a play.

04:35Well, you just don't like to move like that.

04:38And dominate the way he does unless you're strong as the tech.

04:40Oh, yeah.

04:42Shengu, over three.

04:47Shepard using the screen.

04:48Eason.

04:50I wasn't in rhythm and it just doesn't matter.

04:52These guys are shooting the lights out.

04:55I just think right now, Rockets are knocking down shots.

04:59There's White.

05:00Floats it up to Neiman.

05:02I just love how this is progressing.

05:05Outside.

05:06Offensive rebound, Capella.

05:11Yeah, mommy got him to miss.

05:12We gave him the offensive board.

05:15Smith won't miss that one.

05:24And that contested the shot.

05:25It just didn't matter.

05:27I think that would...

05:28I think it might have played its own on that possession.

05:30KD just got the ball.

05:32With the work.

05:34They've hit 15.

05:34Still more than six minutes to play in the second quarter as Pritchard hurts the courts.

05:43Thompson sees some space.

05:45Kicks it out.

05:45Durant right back at you.

05:49And a career-high 33 points in this building last year did amend Thompson.

05:54Minot off the kick.

05:56Hits the three.

05:59Smith Jr. missed it.

06:00Minot plucks the rebound.

06:02Starts the break himself.

06:03Fights the cutting.

06:04Boucher for two.

06:06Great play by the newcomers.

06:09He swarmed.

06:10Somehow finds Pritchard.

06:12Attacks the closeout.

06:14Kata for three.

06:16Oh, Machina climbing the ladder.

06:22A little helter-skelter here.

06:25Pritchard to Minot.

06:26He drives.

06:27Drops it off.

06:28Let's go.

06:29On the jam.

06:29I love it.

06:30The energy is starting to shift.

06:33Celtics really moving it now.

06:3413 assists.

06:38Shingun just doing whatever he wants.

06:40He can go anywhere he wants on the court.

06:44Sailing Brown rejected by Smith.

06:47He met him up top.

06:50Shingun gives it up.

06:51Oh, Shingun.

06:52Oh, my gosh.

06:53How about that sequence?

06:56Brown with three to shoot.

06:57Goes at Smith.

06:59Charman got it away.

07:00Hits the three.

07:02Oh, and then he blew a kiss.

07:03Oh, my gosh.

07:05Good play by Jalen Brown.

07:09Five assists for J.B.

07:14They are not missing much tonight.

07:17With a snap against Shingun.

07:20Luka Garza blocks.

07:23Shingun and Adams cause havoc.

07:25Brown got it right back.

07:27And dropped it all.

07:30White for three.

07:32They'll try to find the range.

07:33Pritchard the offensive rebound.

07:36Brown's going to be doubled.

07:38Finds the cutting.

07:38Minot.

07:39Met at the rim by Smith.

07:41Another block for him with the foul.

07:43He wants a challenge.

07:45There's a double.

07:46Another steal for Josh Minot.

07:48He is a pass defensively,

07:50and I don't know what that was.

07:55Smith and one.

07:57Challenged the shot and got the board.

08:00Third board for Demiitch Tate.

08:02Oh, Jalen Brown.

08:03What a move.

08:04What was that?

08:05Wait.

08:06I don't know what it was.

08:10Now, Boucher's.

08:12Shingun with the miss,

08:13but Thompson was right there.

08:15A flop.

08:15Oh!

08:16A technical flop issued to Chris Boucher.

08:19Oh, this is going.

08:19This is way over.

08:20A Kogi guarding Pritchard.

08:25There's the foul and the basket.

08:27I like that.

08:30Who can bend the defense.

08:31Three seconds for Pritchard.

08:32Sam Houser offensive rebound.

08:36Nobody picks him up.

08:37He makes him pay.

08:38Sam does that better.

08:40He's great to me.

08:41People in rotation.

08:43That's how you get fouls.

08:45But any time we get some type of advantage.

08:49Houser beat up.

08:505.30.

08:515.30.

08:5442% for his career.

08:55Best in Celtics history.

08:58Durant.

08:58That's it.

09:03That's all he does, man.

09:04Hoops, it does podcast.

09:07It goes on Twitter.

09:08And he posts.

09:10A Kogi.

09:12Come on.

09:13A Kogi.

09:20What?

09:22Another block from Smith.

09:24Can't connect with Eason.

09:26Thompson keeps it alive.

09:28Shireman runs it down.

09:29Adams just waiting for him.

09:30Nice move by Baylor.

09:32Shireman.

09:32Put that rocker step on him.

09:37This is a good team.

09:38You're going to get so.

09:39See if you can get something going.

09:42Reed Shepard on a triple form.

09:44A third pick in the draft.

09:45Out of Kentucky.

09:48Sangoon finds the cutting Thompson.

09:50He's fouled and won.

09:54Why don't you get you correct?

09:56We don't be afraid.

09:58I'm challenging that hit beat out.

10:01Oh my goodness.

10:02Atari Eason?

10:04Simons above the break.

10:07Rebound to Walsh.

10:10Shireman from the corner.

10:12Eatin' up.

10:13Baylor Shireman.

10:14The Celtics top score with 14 tied with Pritchard.

10:17Sheppard has the answer.

10:24That is the answer.

10:28Celtics don't get outscored from three very often, but it's happening tonight.

10:33That is a good call by you.

10:39Minot.

10:41Did not hesitate.

10:43Why not?

10:43Minot.

10:44Minot.

10:45He gets a deflection here.

10:47He's two for two on deflections out of the post.

10:51Jesus.

10:51Goop was trying to get the Valley just flung it in the basket.

10:54Ended him.

10:57Eason goes into the body of Walsh.

11:00Shepard.

11:02Rockets have a 30-point lead.

11:05Things go right for them.

11:06They could beat San Antonio.

11:07I mean, they could beat Oklahoma City.

11:09If they're shooting like this.

11:14That's nine assists for Shingun.

11:16That helps, but I'm not thinking he's thinking I'm going to get a revenge game.

11:19Revenge game.

11:20I'm 33.

11:23Ugo.

11:24Oh.

11:25Off the cross.

11:31Gonzalez.

11:32No whistles.

11:34And Jeff Green on a three.

11:36Amari Williams in there for the Celtics.

11:39He broke up that alley-oop to Capella.

11:42Oh, good pass.

11:42Oh, look from Shireman to Walsh.

11:46Williams in the pick-and-roll coverage.

11:48Bad pass from Holiday leads to a Shireman steal.

11:51He got it up to Williams.

11:52Finds Harper.

11:53That's a thing of beauty.

11:54That was really nice.

12:01Ooh.

12:03Gonzalez again.

12:04Add another one to the list.

12:06He may doke his team up next.

12:08First home for Dallas on Monday.

12:13Walsh right at the shot blocker.

12:15Capella.

12:15Good strong finish over Capella.

12:18He's pretty good, too.

12:19Yeah.

12:19Dropped 50 earlier this year.

12:21Shireman taps at home.

12:28Fifteen points, five off a career high.

12:31Rockets, by the way, have nine blocks.

12:34Davison, the rainbow.

12:36Let's see how quick he's worked on that.

12:38Laying in the water.

12:45Wilhelm.

12:46There we go.

12:46Baby hook.

12:48And he cleans it up.

12:49And he pounded offensive glass.

12:52That's one way to have elite offensive numbers as Walsh puts it in.

12:57By the way, congratulations.

12:58How many buckets does he have?

13:05Jeff Green.

13:06Many.

13:07Several.

13:09He's two for two tonight.

13:10The Celtics have attempted 101 shots.

13:13Now 102.

13:14Not expected it to be tough sledding against a well-rested Rockets team.

13:22The Celtics, night two of a back-to-back.

13:24And the three-game win streak comes to a close at the hand of the Houston Rockets.

13:29Right now, Vanessa Richards is standing by with Kevin Durant.

13:32Thanks, Craig.

13:33Hey, Kevin.

13:34What a game for you guys.

13:35The offense was hot from the start.

13:36The defensive intensity was there the entire game.

13:39How were you all able to be so dominant through four quarters?

13:41I mean, I just think our coaches prepared us right.

13:44We had two days to kind of go over to scout this morning and yesterday at practice.

13:48So I think we just locked in on the scout and guys executed and stayed disciplined on their schemes.

13:54And we was able to get a good win.

13:56Amin was extremely effective on Jalen Brown tonight, constantly making him work and forcing him to his left.

14:01What does Twin bring to this team defensively?

14:03Just everything.

14:04You know, he's a versatile player.

14:05You can't put Twin in a box.

14:07You can't call him a point guard.

14:08You can't call him a shooting guard.

14:09You can't call him anything.

14:10He's just a basketball player.

14:11And we ask him to guard the best players every night.

14:14And he comes out there.

14:15He doesn't say a word.

14:15He just grinds.

14:16You know, and I got so much respect for how he approaches the game.

14:19This morning at Shootaround, you told me you love being on such a versatile and deep team.

14:23All five starters and double figures.

14:25The bench was unbelievable.

14:27What can this team do with that much depth?

14:28Yeah, I mean, when we're clicking on all cylinders like that, we're tough to stop them.

14:33Everybody came in with confidence, but mainly our focus is on the defensive game plan and trying to execute that.

14:38I think all great teams follow through with the game plan throughout 48 minutes.

14:43So, you know, and I think that's, you know, that bleeds into our offense.

14:47It helps us on the offensive end when we can get stops and we can make those guys shoot overs.

14:51Speaking of offense, 26 points in 29 minutes for you.

14:54How are you still doing that 19 years in?

14:56I mean, you got great passers like Alpy and Twinn who's setting us up all night.

15:02Great screeners like Steven, Alpy, you know.

15:04So I'm just trying to, you know, come through for the team as much as I can.

15:07And I'm starting to understand my role more and more.

15:09And I'm excited to go out there and play with these guys every night.

15:12Great win.

15:12Thanks, Kevin.

15:13Appreciate you.
