In a surprising turn of events, the Boston Celtics fell to the Houston Rockets 114-112 on Monday night, as Dillon Brooks lit up the court with a career-high 10 triples. The unexpected offensive explosion from Brooks shocked the Celtics, leaving stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to acknowledge the improbable performance.

The Celtics accomplished that, holding the Rockets’ top three leading scorers to 30 total points on 9-of-32 shooting (3-for-14 on 3-pointers). But their decision to force Houston to play through Dillon Brooks and Amen Thompson backfired.

With 36 points and 10 made 3s, Dillon Brooks had one of the best long-range shooting games in Rockets history as Houston won at Boston.

Amen Thompson had the clutch go-ahead bucket and Dillon Brooks made a franchise record-tying 10 3-pointers in the Rockets' win over the Celtics on Monday.

The Celtics need to execute better, especially during fourth-quarter possessions. They also need to sharpen up on offense and defense.
