Summary

For a quarter, it was competitive, but over the course of their 111-89 loss to Boston at home on Sunday afternoon, the Lakers slowly lost cohesion and composure, discipline and spirit. They were eventually overwhelmed by a far more aggressive and confident Celtics team. The Lakers gave up a big number to Jalen Brown, but were especially burned by a hyper-efficient Payton Pritchard, who lit them up for 30 points on only 14 field goal attempts. The Celtics also dominated the glass, including the offensive rebounding opportunities, and generally were the faster, more aggressive and stronger team, leaving the Lakers to spend a lot of time complaining to officials, especially as the game went on. LeBron and Luka were... basically fine? Fine-adjacent? Austin Reaves, however, was not good, and meanwhile the Lakers got 16 points from Deandre Ayton, Rui Hachimura, Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt. As JJ Redick said after the game, they were awful offensively. Losing to the Celtics is something Lakers fans hate, anyway. Losing like this to the Celtics? Monday is going to be an angry one in Laker Nation. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: An ugly loss to Boston. SEGMENT 2: Why do the Lakers struggle against physical defenses? SEGMENT 3: So much work to be done. Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
