Rockets surprised me with a very tough and air tight defenses in the first 2 quarters. I was looking if they had a newly hired defensive coach on the bench. I was telling my son as we watched the game progressing that if that 26 points deficit was cut into half then the C's would be storming for a win, and while it was a wishful thought, it just happened, just like the comeback wins against Golden State, OKC and the Spurs in the first meeting. Things seem to be going good even when it didn't look good, and another fyi detail I read is that the Lakers as of a day or 2 ago, is now in the 5th place for the next draft pick, which means if the season ended that way, the C's get to own that pick. Is Ainge looking like a GM genius of what.
