Last Celtics Trip To Houston Memorable
It wouldn’t be accurate to say that it turned their season around, but when the Boston Celtics visited Houston last March, they accomplished one of their more impressive feats of the championship season.
In mid-February the Celtics suffered what would be their only three-game losing streak of the season. Yet, with a healing Kevin Garnett, they went on to win 10 straight before losing to Utah at home and beating Milwaukee at the start of a five game road trip. Then they headed to San Antonio, Houston and Dallas knowing vaguely that it had been seven years since an NBA team had swept a Texas trip.
They came into Houston with high anticipation. National media attended the game, which was telecast to a national TV audience. This was to be, perhaps, the last best test for the Celtics prior to the playoffs, still a month away, and games like these don’t come around every night.
