Every time the Clippers play the Celtics, fun things happen. Three weeks ago, it was Brandon Boston Jr.’s coming out party against his namesake team, and Wednesday night, with the injury reports potentially longer than the active lists, the two teams still delivered an entertaining back-and-forth affair.
The first 10 minutes of the fourth quarter were played within six points. Eric Bledsoe’s 3-pointer with 2:05 to play in the game stretched the lead to eight, and the Clippers held on from there to win 91-82. It was fitting that a triple was the deciding factor, as the Clippers shot 11-of-28 from distance while the Celtics only made 4-of-42.
