After Action Report
The Clippers demolished the Celtics 127-88. Clippers' scorers couldn't be contained. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.

- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
