Two of the NBA 's hottest teams met on Wednesday night as the Boston Celtics ( 32 - 23 ) defeated the Los Angeles Clippers ( 35 - 18 ) in overtime , 139 - 134 . For Boston , the win was the second half of a back - to - back after Milwaukee snapped the team 's four - game win streak on Tuesday . Despite the demoralizing last - second loss , the Celtics were able to come out and play against the contending Los Angeles Clippers the next day . It proved to be a point guard battle , as All-Star Isaiah Thomas led the team with a season - high 36 points while also dishing out 11 assists . Big man Jared Sullinger also had one of his strongest outings of the season , scoring 21 points on 10 - for - 15 shooting while also pulling down 11 rebounds and notching seven assists . While they got the win , the normally defense - oriented team allowed 134 points and let the Clippers convert 52 percent of shots from the field . Los Angeles had won seven of their last eight headed into Wednesday 's contest . The absence of superstar Blake Griffin ( hand ) has n't stopped the Clippers from becoming one of the hottest teams in the NBA since the start of the new year . Much of their success can be attributed to veteran Chris Paul , who led the team again on Wednesday with 35 points and dished out 13 assists . Guard J.J. Redick also had a big night , scoring 27 points . Both teams will enjoy a long rest as the NBA heads into the All-Star break this weekend .
