In a game featuring teams among the favorites to reach the NBA Finals, the Clippers can't come up with clutch shots in a 116-110 loss to the Boston Celtics.
Paul George scored 23 points and the Clippers won for the seventh time in nine games , beating the Toronto Raptors 124-113 on Tuesday., who scored 24 points. “We got all the recipe for the little stuff but it’s just how we play, regardless of who we play, it’s how we play.”
Then with two seconds left, Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. tried a layup with the Clippers down five — a shot rejected by Al Horford. That includes getting better at not easing into games and settling for jumpers, as George described it. Unlike during the Clippers’ 20-point win against Boston three weeks earlier, Celtics big men Robert Williams and Horford both played, and George took one shot inside the paint in his first 17 minutes. Leonard had one paint shot in the first quarter and one true rim attempt in his 18 first-half minutes.
