The Boston Celtics fell to the shorthanded Los Angeles Lakers 114-105 at home Thursday night, just the third loss of the year at TD Garden for the Celts. From start to finish, Boston looked sluggish on offense while LA shot lights out.
The Lakers were without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, both of whom missed the game thanks to injury. Los Angeles didn’t miss a beat, however. The visiting team put on an offensive clinic, especially from behind the 3-point line. On the other side of the action, Boston never found its footing enough to keep pace. The starters in particular looked out of sorts.
Let’s take a closer look at a 114-105 Celtics defeat at the hands of the Lakers.
