The Los Angeles Clippers (14–12) won three of their last four games, with Brandon Boston Jr. scoring a career-high 27 points, as the Clippers held off The Boston Celtics (13–13) 114–111; Paul George sat out from a bruised right elbow.
Boston Jr., nicknamed “Mr. 46” by teammates, as he scored 46 points in a G League game a week ago just before his 20th birthday. Coming off the bench in his 13th career game, he was 9–13 from the field, hitting 5–8 three-pointers, and added two rebounds. His previous highest output was 13 points.
