They gave the Celtics a good game for a half in Boston before the Celtics ran away for a 24-point win. The Celtics have won the past five meetings and are looking for a third-consecutive season sweep of the Rockets. Since a three-game losing streak, they topped the Trail Blazers and then won in Atlanta on Saturday in the first game of a six-game road trip.
Brown and Tatum, who average 56.7 points per game, had 39 and 38 points, respectively in the first meeting. The Celtics had defended Sengun with smaller players, most often last season’s defensive player of the year Marcus Smart, with Tatum and Brown also getting turns. That made it difficult for Sengun to get free in the low post, and doubled quickly when he did get the ball inside. Sengun was scoreless, the only game this season in which he has failed to score. After getting two assists in the first four minutes, he did not get any in the rest of the game.
