\nIn a thrilling encounter at TD Garden, the Houston Rockets claimed a victory over the Boston Celtics this Monday night, thanks to a decisive basket by Amen Thompson just before the buzzer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThompson executed an impressive maneuver to get free from his defender, Jaylen Brown, and made a jump shot while fading away from just inside the free throw line, pushing Houston ahead 114\u2013112 with barely a second left on the clock.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThis shot marked the first game-winner of Thompson’s professional career, and he couldn’t hide his excitement in the post-game celebrations, comparing his performance to the legendary Kobe Bryant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n“That’s my first game-winner. I feel like Kobe,” Thompson remarked in his postgame interview, where he appeared alongside teammate Dillon Brooks, who expressed his confidence in Thompson’s shot making.<\/p>\n

\nIn what was his 15th start of the season for the Rockets, Thompson not only scored the game-winning basket but also set a new personal best with 33 points, along with grabbing 10 rebounds, and contributing four assists, one block, and a steal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThompson’s 13 successful field goals during the game were crucial, but none was as significant as his final shot that clinched the win.<\/p>\n
