The Celtics edged the Clippers 106-97. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Clippers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
