After Action Report
In a track meet, the Clippers demolished the Celtics 140-114. Clippers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
