After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers fended off the Celtics 97-88. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Clippers; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
