The Houston Rockets ( 33 - 32 ) defeated the host Boston Celtics ( 39 - 27 ) 102 - 98 , Friday evening at TD Garden . The Rockets entered looking to improved on their three - game lead over Utah for eighth in the West and did just that as they edged the Boston Celtics down the stretch . The Rockets have now won three straight on the road , including victories against top eastern teams , Toronto and now Boston . The Celtics had won their previous 14 games at TD Garden and had won seven of nine against the West coming into this game , but the Rockets managed to defy those trends as they snuck away with the win . Houston struggled shooting from deep in this one , hitting only 5 - 26 from long range and gave up 18 turnovers on the game ; but on the other hand managed to keep the Celtics to just 37 percent shooting from the field . James Harden led all scorers as he finished with 32 points ( 9 - 19 FG , 1 - 6 3Pt , 13 - 15 FT ) , along with four assists , three rebounds , one steal and one block . However , Harden also gave up six turnovers in his 36 minutes on the court . Michael Beasley was huge in his second game with the Rockets , providing a solid boost off the bench . Beasley tallied 18 points ( 9 - 19 FG ) and eight rebounds , in only 15 minutes , as the second highest scorer for the Houston . Dwight Howard was solid in the middle , with 12 points and 12 rebounds , in 35 minutes . Despite playing at home where they have had great success , the Celtics were not able to gather much momentum in this one . The Celtics averaged 112 points per game throughout their previous 14 home victories but were held much below that mark by a hungry Houston team . Meanwhile , Isaiah Thomas was not phased as he tallied a team - high 30 points ( 10 - 21 FG , 5 - 9 3Pt , 5 - 6 FT ) , along with two assists and two rebounds , in 38 minutes . Jared Sullinger had a big night as well , with 24 points ( 9 - 18 FG , 1 - 1 3Pt , 5 - 7 FT ) , 12 rebounds , four assists and four steals , in 31 minutes , while Avery Bradley chipped in 16 points , in 38 minutes . However , other than Thomas , Sullinger and Bradley , the rest of the Celtics team accounted for only 28 points . The Celtics will now have a few days rest before they visit Indiana to play the Pacers on Tuesday . The Rockets will be back in action on Saturday , as they wind - up their current four - game road trip in Charlotte .
