NBA Rivalry Week hasn’t disappointed as several exciting matchups have happened, though Los Angeles Lakers fans got a huge treat after the team blew out the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.
The Lakers have been playing some inconsistent basketball the past few weeks, but they got up against the Celtics who sport one of the best records in the league. Los Angeles’ attention to detail and focus were playoff-level as they were clearly motivated to make a statement against the defending champions.
Austin Reaves had a strong performance, scoring 23 points to go along with six assists in the win.
