If the Boston Celtics had lost their road contest with the Los Angeles Clippers down two of their most important players in veterans Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown, no one would have held it against the team, particularly after adding a third player to the unavailable list with injured or aching lower extremities at the game’s halfway point.
Center Daniel Theis left the tilt with knee soreness at the break, yet riding outstanding play by guards Kemba Walker (24 points), Carsen Edwards (16 points) and especially forward Jayson Tatum (34 points, 7 rebounds), the Celtics managed to come away with a signature win instead.
