The Boston Celtics repeated their victory on their tour of the West and, after winning in Sacramento by 25 points, this Saturday they also did so in Los Angeles by 108-145, a clear humiliation for the Clippers incapable of reacting.

Jayson Tatum was the leader on the court with 30 points scored, contributing 5 triples out of 10 attempts, plus 5 rebounds. He did not need minutes in the last quarter, being able to rest ahead of Monday’s clash on the special Christmas day against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Along with Tatum, Jaylen Brown also added double figures with 24 points, Jrue Holiday with 20 and Derrick White with 18. The Celtics, leaders of the East with a balance of 22-6, launched 53 triples and scored 25, equaling the third best mark of its history.
For the Clippers (17-12) it was a very disappointing afternoon, falling again crushed after having done so last Thursday by 19 points against the Oklahoma City Thunder in a match that ended their great streak of nine straight wins.
Against the Celtics, the only star who showed his face was Paul George with 21 points. Ivica Zubac saved the furniture at certain moments and ended up scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds.
The Clippers were without Kawhi Leonard for the second consecutive game – both ended in defeat – while the Celtics were also without Kristaps Porzingis.
