Kemba Walker Hits GAME WINNER vs Clippers

Kemba Walker hit a GAME WINNER on a stepback for the Celtics in crunch time before Tristan Thompson, Kemba and Grant Williams sealed a win over the Clippers at the free throw line. Jayson Tatum stole the ball from Nic Batum in transition trailing by one after Boston had overcome a 16 point deficit and he turned the ball over down one. Kemba finished the back-and-forth swings of the fourth with a pull-up at the elbow with 30 seconds left after regaining the ball. Walker finished with 24 points on 9-of-19 shooting in a bounce back performance from his recent inconsistency.

Carsen Edwards Has Best Game with Celtics vs Clippers

Carsen Edwards entered for the Celtics after the Clippers took a double digit lead against the “three big” Boston lineup, and he drilled his first three triples. Edwards finished 5-of-8 with 16 points and played deep into the fourth quarter to reach 30 minutes of playing time, his most successful and involved playing time in the NBA in a close game against one of the best teams in the league. Is he in the rotation now after a solid few weeks that impressed Brad Stevens between practice and game action? The Garden Report debated.
