After Action Report
In Boston, the Clippers snuck past the Celtics 104-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers are in a full-on tailspin; the Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
