Brad Stevens went so far as to say the Celtics were not very good in the midst of their four-game losing streak, but Wednesday they were more than good enough to lock up a win.

Boston knocked off the Clippers 113-102 to move to 34-14 on the season behind 20 points from Kyrie Irving and 15 points from four different players.

For the Celtics it was a matter of putting a complete game together. During the four-game losing skid, Boston had bad quarters seemingly every night. Sometimes they wouldn't come out of the half well, others they didn't finish.

Boston started well Wednesday with a 25-22 lead after the first quarter and came out strong in the second half with a 29-22 third quarter, and they played more than well enough to close it out. Boston assisted on 25 of 39 made field goals and shot 95.5 percent from the free-throw line.

"We have a resilient group," Irving told ESPN after the game. "Coach said we have to do something unique tonight and that's what the great teams do, and I feel like we're trending in the right direction."

Studs of the Night

The Pistons fell to the Jazz 98-95 in overtime Wednesday but it wasn't Andre Drummond's fault. The 24-year-old center scored 30 points, added 24 rebounds and tallied six blocks, four assists and three steals.

Ben Simmons led the 76ers to a 115-101 win over the Bulls with the fifth triple-double of his young career. The rookie scored 19 points while grabbing 17 rebounds and dishing out 14 assists.

Damian Lillard insists he earned his All-Star spot and it's hard to argue with him after his performance Wednesday. The Trail Blazers guard scored a game-high 31 points in Portland's 123-114 win over the Jimmy Butler-less Timberwolves.

Dud of the Night

Grizzlies forward Myke Henry played 22 minutes in Memphis' 108-85 loss to the Spurs, but he had zero points on 0-for-7 shooting while going 0 for 4 from beyond the arc.

Highlight

An alley-oop is good and all, but a half-court alley-oop is something special. James Harden can both shoot and pass from long range while Clint Capela can dunk with the best of them.
