After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers demolished the Celtics 117-97. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
