After Action Report
The Clippers demolished the Celtics 116-81. Ugly basketball, but the Clippers did just enough. The Celtics are in a full-on tailspin. The Clippers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
