In a marquee matchup between rivals, the Boston Celtics defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 111-101 in their first meeting since Luka Doncic joined LA.
Jrue Holiday was able to make his return to the Celtics lineup after having missed the last four games with “mallet finger” on his shooting-hand pinky. It’s an ailment that had Celtics fans expecting him to miss significant time, unsure if he’d even be healthy for the playoffs. Thankfully, given his return, it seems as though he’ll be able to play through it by keeping his finger in a cast.
