Silver Screen and Roll
Key Points:
- The Lakers suffered a heavy 111-89 defeat to the Celtics, marked by a poor fourth quarter where Boston pulled away decisively.
- Boston's physical play and strong defense forced the Lakers into turnovers, with LA shooting just 39.1% from the field and 30% from three-point range.
- Key contributors for the Lakers included Luka Dončić with 25 points and LeBron James with 20 points, but offensive support beyond them was limited.
- Celtics players Payton Pritchard and Jaylen Brown combined for 62 points, dominating the game and stifling the Lakers' comeback attempts.
- The Lakers will look to rebound in their next game against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday at
