It may not have been classic Celtics but they looked much closer to the version of the team that led the league for most of the season on Saturday.
Six Celtics scored in double figures, hitting 20 triples, and held off a fourth-quarter scramble by the Hawks. It was an encouraging sign for Boston as they began a six-game road trip.

Houston Rockets
There are moments when the Rockets show signs of what could be. For example the first and third quarters of their Saturday match versus the Bulls where the starting unit outscored Chicago by 10 and seven points respectively punctuated by a 40-point third quarter.
