After Action Report
The Celtics snuck past the Clippers 105-101. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics sent shots into the fifth row all night. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
