After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics handled the Clippers 93-75. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics; shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
