After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers held off the Celtics 120-113. The breakneck pace played right into Clippers' hands. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
