After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Clippers 117-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
