After Action Report
The Celtics shocked the Clippers 139-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
