The Los Angeles Clippers ( 46 - 27 ) defeated the Boston Celtics ( 43 - 31 ) 114 - 90 at Staples Center on Monday . Both the Clippers and Celtics control the 4 - seed in their respective conferences , but Los Angeles proved once again that the elite teams in the Western Conference are more overpowering than the elite teams in the Eastern Conference . Isiah Thomas and company physically battled their way through the first quarter , but still came out six points down , and the Clippers simply built on their lead during the rest of the game . Thomas chased down Chris Paul in transition for a highlight block , but it did not get any prettier than that for his team . The Clippers bench proved to be the difference in the game , as the starters failed to provide much offense . Jamal Crawford , Jeff Green , Wesley Johnson and Austin Rivers all finished in double figures , while Chris Paul dished out 14 assists and DeAndre Jordan commanded the paint and added 13 rebounds . Shot selection was key for the bench roles , as Los Angeles drained 52 percent of their shots and dished out 29 assists . Paul 's assist total matched that of the entire Celtics team . Isiah Thomas found success attacking the rim and did most of his damage from the free throw line . The all - star point guard finished with 24 points to lead all scorers ( 5 - of - 14 FG , 12 - of - 13 FT ) and two assists . Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart were the only other Celtics to join Thomas in double figures , which was unsurprising given the defensive effort and size they were matched up against . Boston shot a lowly 35 percent from the field and got very little production from their bench . The Clippers will visit the Minnesota Timberwolves ( 25 - 49 ) on Wednesday , while the Celtics will head north to take on the Portland Trail Blazers ( 39 - 36 ) on Thursday .
