After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics survived the Clippers 118-117. Celtics' offense had its way with the Clippers. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
