Clippers entered tonight as NBA’s best defense at keeping teams off free throw line.
After Tyronn Lue successfully challenged Ivica Zubac’s verticality against a Jaylen Brown drive, Celtics missed 17 of their last 21 field goals.
That includes 0/13 3s. And 0 FTs attempted. – 12:18 AM

Tyronn Lue said not playing with a point guard on the second unit wasn’t fair to Serge Ibaka, as Clippers tried to run delay through Ibaka. Said the center has to stay ready for Friday’s game at Toronto. – 10:06 PM

Tyronn Lue calls timeout with 7:46 left in third quarter. Clippers continue to look solid, just haven’t quite hit that one shot that makes Udoka stand up again.
But Clippers are up 55-45, even with a missed shot here and a giveaway there. Celtics now 2/20 from 3. – 8:52 PM
