After Action Report
The Clippers rolled past the Celtics 126-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
