When looking at the 2022-23 Los Angeles Clippers, there are indisputable certainties — the presence of two superstars, an excellent coach and a deep roster full of capable hoopers. But in tonight’s 116-110 loss against the Boston Celtics, the depth of the Clippers was in question.
To start the game, the two heavyweight teams came out swinging as they landed and took punches. But this balance was relatively short-lived: With three minutes left of the first half, the Celtics took on a 13-point lead — the young duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown were outscoring the 213’s one-two punch of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard by 11 points.
