Derrick White's 28-point performance propelled the Boston Celtics to a 114-93 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. Despite missing star player Jaylen Brown due to a left hamstring issue, White's six 3-pointers and scoring prowess helped the Celtics secure their fourth consecutive win. The game was intense, with Houston coach Ime Udoka ejected for a double technical at the end of the third quarter, and Alperen Sengun tossed midway through the fourth for two technical fouls. The Celtics' third-quarter surge, fueled by an 18-3 run and five 3-pointers, including two from White and Baylor Scheierman, showcased their resilience and ability to capitalize on opportunities. Kevin Durant, returning from a sprained ankle, led the Rockets with 15 points, while Neemias Queta and Luka Garza contributed 10 and 19 points, respectively, to the Celtics' triumph. The Celtics will host Miami on Friday, while the Rockets will face Charlotte at home on Thursday.
