Payton Pritchard added 30 points, including six three-pointers, and eight assists, fueling Boston’s second-half surge.

For the Lakers, the loss highlighted ongoing struggles, as they shot just 39.1% from the field amid offensive woes. Luka Doncic led LA with 25 points, while LeBron James added 20.

This defeat came hours after unveiling Pat Riley’s statue and LeBron became the first player in NBA history to reach 43,000 career regular-season points.

Still, the Lakers folded to their rivals. The Celtics’ balanced attack and defensive intensity reaffirmed their contender status in the NBA.
