The Boston Celtics got their first win of the 2021-22 NBA season with a 107 – 97 road victory over the Houston Rockets, which just so happens to be the very first win for new head coach Ime Udoka.
While it might not have been the prettiest or easiest win for the Celtics, big games from All-Star forward Jayson Tatum, veteran big man Al Horford and third-year swingman Grant Williams, the Udoka era is finally on track after two early losses. More than a typical win, the players were very excited to get the win for their head coach, and let Udoka know it with an impromptu celebration after the final buzzer sounded.
Multiple angles were of course captured for posterity.
