Sports Redux: The Celtics Have Regained Their Mojo

Maybe it was being in L.A. one night after the Oscars, so the magic of the stars could rub off on them (because when you think "glamour", you think Coen Brothers). Maybe it wasn't. Probably it had a lot to do with the injury-riddled, overmatched Clippers. But whatever the reason, the results speak for themselves: the C's blasted LA last night, and come home with a 2-game winning streak.

The Clippers only broke 20 points in one quarter, and the Celtics spread the ball around well; five guys (Pierce, Allen, Posey, KG and Leon) were in double figures, but nobody had to stay in long enough to get 20. Gabe Pruitt even got six points in ten minutes.
