After that ugly Houston game, tonight was just fun. Refs let them play for a good chunk of it too

Yeah, wipes away that stain of a game!

[mr. dee]

So we've taken down MIL, 76ers, Lakers and NOW the Clips.

Great game C's!!

We have some real solid wins against elite teams, minus the Rockets who got away with murder.

[Ogaju]

Time to let the TPs flow, folks. This was a big game for us and we can now feel good for the next week!

yeah let the TPs rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hpantazo]

Arguably the game of the year so far. Clippers made them earn that one. Two very similar teams. 

agreed -- needed to see a game this good after that hideous game against Houston.  good way to go into the break

They played well against Houston, just got jobbed by the refs.

Smart's post-game complaining paid off tonight

Tatum is 100% getting a designated rookie max extension

Yeah, it was questionable going into the season, but he's absolutely showed this year that he's a future top-10 and I would say even a top-5 guy in this league. Not only is his offensive game very multifaceted, but he's also a two-way player.

I absolutely think he has a MVP-level ceiling after watching him over the past few months. And he's only going to get better.

Amazing game!!!

We could be witnessing JTs transition into a superstar!

[Atzar]

Great, great game.  One of the best of the entire NBA season.

Glad I was rewarded staying up for this one. Hayward with a solid finish was surprising. Tatum and Smart held it down.

Such a rewarding and satisfying win! I am so relieved now - especially after that putrid HOU game.

[liam]

Hayward came up huge at the end of that game with the 3, the block, the rebound and the steal!!!!!!!

Tatum won us the game, but Hayward sealed it at the end

Agreed!

[CelticsElite]

Hayward came up huge at the end of that game with the 3, the block, the rebound and the steal!!!!!!!

that was pierce like

[SparzWizard]

So we've taken down MIL, 76ers, Lakers and NOW the Clips.

Great game C's!!

Different from last year when we seemed to struggle mightily against great teams

Celtics lose this game with Kyrie Irving and Al Horford obviously

[Tr1boy]

Tatum is 100% getting a designated rookie max extension

No doubt about it

The difference is... Brown cant close like Tatum

And Tatum D now is just as good

[Sophomore]

2-1 over the last three is solid, for sure.

[rocknrollforyoursoul]

Way to rebound after the Houston loss! Pretty often it wasn't pretty tonight, but Tatum really came through, and great job by Hayward to stick with it through a bad shooting night and make some CRUCIAL plays at the end.

[radiohead]

JT was 2 points shy for a new career high! What a game! Congrats to all!
