After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Clippers 127-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
