“We didn’t do ourselves any favors by just giving them points,” Boston coach Ime Udoka said.
Boston gave up 33 points in views. Facing a Clippers team playing without Paul George, the Celtics dropped 63 points in the first half – allowing the Clippers to shoot 55% from the floor, and drop 30 points inside the paint.

The Clippers have a career match from Brandon Boston Jr, who finished with 27 points, four steals and five 3-pointers.
The Celtics are now just 1-3 on the trip to Phoenix, followed by home games against Milwaukee and Golden State. If the Celtics repeat their performance from tonight, it could get really bad over the next three games.
