There’s a beautiful symmetry between the Celtics and Clippers. Both squads are led by two dynamic duos on the wing. In the spirit of Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady or Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, Los Angeles features Paul George and Kawhi Leonard on the back end of their primes and of course, the Celtics’ cornerstones are twentysomethings Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
It had been three years since all four were on the floor together and on Monday night, it was the veteran pair that got the best of the young upstarts.
George and Leonard combined for 51 points.
