Rockets Top Celtics 114-112 with Thompson's Game-Winner

Amen Thompson led the Houston Rockets to a thrilling 114-112 victory over the Boston Celtics with a game-winning floater just 0.7 seconds before the final buzzer, marking his first career winning shot and a career-high of 33 points. Thompson's performance was complemented by Dillon Brooks, who scored 36 points and tied a franchise record with 10 three-pointers. The Rockets' win follows a strong showing against the Cleveland Cavaliers, highlighting their recent success on the road against top Eastern Conference teams. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum combined for 47 points for the Celtics, but their efforts fell short as Boston struggled with defensive matchups in the final moments. With this victory, the Rockets improved to 31-14 on the season, showcasing their potential as a competitive force in the league. Coach Ime Udoka faces a decision regarding Thompson's role once Jabari Smith Jr. returns from injury, as Thompson has become a key player for Houston.
