Huge night on glass

Analysis
It was the second time this season Clingan ripped down at least 20 boards -- he recorded 21 against the Bulls on Nov. 19 -- and the double-double was his 17th in 44 games.

Secures 15 boards
Clingan ended with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 28 minutes during Monday's 102-94 loss to the Celtics.
Analysis
Clingan fell one point shy of compiling a second consecutive double-double, as he wasn't able to capitalize on his opportunities on the offensive end. The big man was a menace at the rim, managing to record his first multi-block game since Jan. 11. Clingan continues to provide strong production on the glass, grabbing double-digit rebounds in five of his previous six games.
