After Action Report
The Clippers rolled past the Celtics 118-86. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Clippers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
