The Celtics dominated the Clippers from start to finish and came away with a 145-108 win. Boston shot a scorching 47.2% from three, finished with 33 assists, and out-rebounded Los Angeles 60-39 – all metrics that usually indicate a Celtics victory.
Jayson Tatum, after missing Wednesday’s game against the Kings with a sprained left ankle, led the charge with a strong shooting performance. He finished with 30 points on 9/16 shooting in just three quarters of play, and hit 5 of his 10 attempted three-pointers. He tweaked his ankle in the second quarter, but stayed in and seemed okay.
