After Action Report
The Clippers ran roughshod over the Celtics 116-78. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
