The Celtics vs. Clippers matchup quickly turned into a tale of two games, starting with an early 24-point Boston blow-out. After going up 37-30 in the first, the Celtics opened the third quarter with an 8-0 run, extending their lead to a seemingly insurmountable 71-49. However, a massive 23-7 run by the Clippers immediately closed the gap, turning the blowout into a nail-biter and setting the stage for a dramatic fourth quarter with the Celtics barely hanging on to a 90-85 lead.  

The final minutes were defined by clutch plays and chaos, with the Celtics needing a late 9-0 run to hold off the charging Clippers. JB (who scored 13 points in the fourth) and Derrick White (who hit a monster three and two huge free throws) were key, but it was the final seconds that sealed the win. After two incredible back-to-back threes from James Harden made the score 119-118, Payton Pritchard hit two final free throws to secure the 121-118 victory. Tune in as we break down the spectacular collapse and the thrilling finish that saw the Celtics ultimately prevail.
