Boston Celtics Blowout Los Angeles Clippers with Record-Breaking Performance
Historic Night for Celtics in Dominant Victory
The Boston Celtics put on a historic performance on Monday night, decimating the Los Angeles Clippers 145-108 at the Staples Center. It was a dominant display from start to finish, with the Celtics setting a new franchise record for points scored in a game (289). Jayson Tatum led the charge with 33 points, followed by Jaylen Brown with 29 and Marcus Smart with 24. The Celtics shot an astonishing 59% from the field and 42% from three-point range.
Clippers No Match for Celtics' Offensive Onslaught
The Clippers were simply outmatched by the Celtics' offensive onslaught. Led by Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers managed just 108 points. George finished with 20 points, while Leonard added 15. The Clippers shot just 42% from the field and 28% from three-point range. It was a night to forget for the Clippers, who have now lost four of their last five games.
Celtics Continue to Impress
The Celtics, meanwhile, continue to impress. They have now won 22 of their first 28 games and sit atop the Eastern Conference standings. They have been led by the dynamic duo of Tatum and Brown, who have formed one of the most formidable scoring tandems in the NBA. The Celtics have also benefited from the return of Robert Williams III, who has provided a defensive presence in the paint.
Looking Ahead
The Celtics will look to continue their winning ways on Wednesday night when they host the Washington Wizards. The Clippers, meanwhile, will try to bounce back on Tuesday night when they face the Denver Nuggets.
