It’s Wednesday, January 22, and the Boston Celtics (30-13) and the Los Angeles Clippers (24-18) are all set to square off from Intuit Dome in Inglewood.
The Celtics appear at times to be disinterested in the regular season. Understandable considering the climbed to the mountain top last season. They smacked the Warriors by 40 in Golden State Monday but lost to the Raptors by 13 just a week ago. The Clippers lost Monday at home to the Bulls. It was their 1st loss in their last 5 games as they continue to climb north in the Western Conference (5th) and the Pacific Division (1st) standings.
The Celtics are currently 15-5 on the road with a point differential of +10, while the Clippers have a 7-3 record in their last ten games at home.
