After Action Report
The Clippers squeaked past the Celtics 109-107. The better team simply showed up tonight. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Clippers. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
