    INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Steve Ballmer is about to realize his long-held dream of the Los Angeles Clippers hosting playoff games in their own arena.

    BOSTON — Jaylen Brown had 36 points and 10 rebounds, Kristaps Porzingis returned to the game after getting a bloody gash to the forehead and finished with 20 points, and the Boston Celtics beat the Orlando Magic 109-100 in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series on Wednesday night. Boston took a 2-0 series lead while playing without All-Star Jayson Tatum, who has a bone bruise in his right wrist and missed a playoff game for the first time in his career. kAmq@DE@? =65 3J `d A@:?ED :?
