Celtics can't hold off Clippers, fall 107-104 in OT thriller

The Boston Celtics fell to the Los Angeles Clippers 107-104 in overtime in what will certainly be looked back upon as an instant classic. Jayson Tatum's 30 points weren't enough to overcome the depth and bench from LA. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard combined for 42 points, while Lou Williams added 27 off the bench, and Patrick Beverley stuffed the stat sheet with 14 points, 16 rebounds, and seven assists. We very well could see these two teams matched up come June.

After having suffered an ankle sprain in Monday's win over the Suns, Marcus Smart was cleared to play, and was not having any talk about limiting his workload.
