After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Clippers 123-119. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
