In a high-stakes rivalry game, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics 117-96, showcasing their capability as contenders. Despite whispers about potential trade issues, including concerns from LeBron James and Anthony Davis about team performance, the Lakers were resolute and executed their game plan effectively. Coach JJ Redick praised the team's defensive performance and adaptability, while LeBron and Davis significantly contributed to an energetic start. The win capped off a strong homestand for the Lakers, reinforcing their ambition to compete seriously in the league.
I thought that that was one of, if not our best, games in terms of executing our defensive game plan. Not overreacting to Porzingis making a few turnaround jumpers.
LeBron and AD came out roaring as the duo combined for 16 points and eight rebounds in the opening period. During the closing seconds of the quarter, the King took flight.
