Jaylen Brown scored 25 points and Jayson Tatum added 24 as the visiting Boston Celtics pulled out a 117-113 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday at Inglewood, Calif., on a night when key players were missing from both sides.

Wednesday’s game between the Celtics and Clippers was highly entertaining. Boston required overtime to win despite having Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White in the lineup. The Clippers were down four starters (James Harden, Norman Powell, Kawhi Leonard, and Ivica Zubac), but the available players didn’t use that as an excuse.

Tatum, who helped lead the Celtics to an NBA championship last season, was recently voted to his sixth All-Star team, making it five consecutive appearances for the St. Louis native. He's also on course to make his fourth All-NBA First Team selection at the end of the regular season.

Despite a depleted Clippers roster, Boston found itself in a battle, needing Jaden Springer’s defensive spark and clutch jumpers to secure the victory. From Tatum’s evolving pick-and-roll game to late-game struggles,

The Boston Celtics recently had a back-to-back in Los Angeles. They overcame the Los Angeles Clippers but fell to the Los Angeles Lakers. However, during their time in the City of Angeles, Jayson Tatum found some time to make an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 24 points and 11 rebounds, and Jalen Brunson had 20 points and six assists for the Knicks, who scored 143 points for the second straight game and won their fourth straight. New York (31-16) won for the 16th time in its past 22 games.

Silver may have to consider rule changes to discourage the trend of teams littering games with 3-point attempts.
