After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers snuck past the Celtics 106-103. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
