After Action Report
In Boston, the Lakers took care of the Celtics 111-96. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
