The league will be releasing their own two-minute report on the Clippers' win over the Celtics later on Thursday but with so many crucial calls and reviews down the stretch of the 107-104 thriller, we decided to do our own second look here at BSJ to see what had the C's so riled up in the second half of this one. While the C's did not get a friendly whistle all game long in the paint, we decided to hone in on the final three minutes of regulation and overtime to figure out what exactly was going on during a few of these questionable whistles and just how costly they were to the C's.

Coach’s Challenge (BOS): personal foul on Brown in Q4 of #BOSatLAC. Ruling: Unsuccessful challenge, foul stands (officials determined contact by George to Theis occurred prior to the gather, therefore was not tied to the play and not reviewable under Coach’s Challenge criteria) pic.twitter.com/2u8jHBLNRX
