After Action Report
The Celtics upended the Clippers 123-97. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
