The Lakers got handed another bitter defeat by their Eastern Conference rivals in an ugly 111-89 loss to the Celtics on Sunday night.
It marked Los Angeles’ second blowout loss to Boston this season, with the latter looking more like true NBA title contenders heading into a pivotal stretch of the season. Lakers stars Luka Dončić and Lebron James put up 25 and 20 points a piece—James also made some history with his 43,000th career point—but they didn’t get very much help from the rest of the roster.
