After Action Report
The Clippers squeaked past the Celtics 102-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
