After Action Report
The Clippers survived the Celtics 94-93. The Clippers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
