The Boston Celtics stood tall in a shootout against the Los Angeles Clippers, pulling away for a win on Sunday (PH time) at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.
The third quarter turned into a shooting party, with both teams trading triples and combining for 12 consecutive made three-pointers.
However, the Celtics sustained their form into the final period, with Jaylen Brown drilling tough shots as Boston outscored Los Angeles, 31–10, to build a commanding 131-107 lead with 2:05 remaining.
Brown caught fire for the Celtics, leading the way by matching his career high with 50 points on 6-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc. Derrick White also stayed hot with 29 points, as Boston improved to 22–12 in the standings.
With the win, the Celtics snapped the Clippers’ six-game winning streak.
After averaging 39 points over his previous six games, Kawhi Leonard was limited to a team-high 22 points. John Collins also added 22 points on an efficient 9-of-10 shooting from the field.
