After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Clippers 99-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
