Celtics Wrap: James Harden, Rockets Spoil Boston’s Home Win Streak

James Harden, Michael Beasley and the Houston Rockets spoiled the Boston Celtics’ home win streak, upending the Celtics in a 102-98 road victory Friday night at TD Garden. Harden led all scorers with 32 points, while Beasley contributed 18 off the bench for the Rockets in what amounted to a sloppy, close game the entire time. Isaiah Thomas scored a team-high 30 points for the Celtics, while Jared Sullinger added 24 points of his own. The loss drops Boston to 39-27 on the season, snapping their 15-game home win streak and a streak of nine consecutive games in which it scored 100 or more points. They now sit just a half game ahead
