After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics pulled away from the Clippers 112-100. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
