Given a microphone Saturday afternoon before tipoff against Boston, Clippers wing Terance Mann began to deliver the team’s customary pre-holiday message to fans when he ad-libbed the script.
“There’s a lot of green in here,” Mann said, drawing a mixture of jeers and cheers. “I don’t like that.”
For the next two-plus hours during a 145-108 rout of the Clippers, it was all green on the court, too.

The Celtics dominated the Clippers from behind the arc.
They outrebounded them by 17, took nearly double the number of free throws (28 to 15), nearly tripled their second-chance points (23 to 8) and committed fewer turnovers (9 to 10).
