After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics handled the Clippers 102-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
