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.

Dale Earnhart’s Jr.’s winless streak could still last for awhile
In the postrace press conference at Martinsville, a reporter asked Dale Earnhardt Jr. if he was back, and Junior admitted that he didn’t know. So while everybody got a rise out of Dale Jr.’s runner-up finish last week, it would be wise for them to hold off on stockpiling champagne for Junior’s next win. If recent NASCAR history is any judge, the trip to Victory Lane that everybody’s been waiting for could be a good two years away just as easily as it could come on Saturday at Texas.
