After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Clippers 129-114. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them.
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 · 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.
