Shorthanded as they always seem to be, the Boston Celtics visited the Los Angeles Clippers on the road Friday night and scored one of the best wins of their season. Jayson Tatum scored a game-high 34 points, Kemba Walker added 24, and Carsen Edwards added a surprise 16, and the Celtics toppled a combined 46 points from Kawhi Leonard and Lou Williams to defeat the Paul George-less Los Angeles Clippers, 119-115.
It was a sluggish start for the Celtics tonight. Without Brown on the court, the Boston offense seemed to be scuffling, managing just four points in the first five minutes of play before a Tatum pull-up three prompted a Los Angeles timeout.
