After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics survived the Clippers 117-116. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
