HOUSTON (AP) — Derrick White made six 3-pointers and scored 28 points and the Boston Celtics used a big third quarter to build the lead and cruise to a 114-93 win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.

Three months later with both teams now fully realized and jockeying for playoff seeding with nearly identical records, it was the Celtics with the proof-of-concept 114-93 win over the Rockets.

During his time suiting up for the Rockets, Kimball wore only jersey No. 7 and put up 7.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game.
