The Los Angeles Lakers picked up their best win of the season on Thursday night, dominating the Boston Celtics 117-96. LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves all had big nights, but it was a true team effort that allowed the Lakers to come away with the victory.
In terms of the main reason for the win, LeBron pointed towards the Lakers simply executing the gameplan laid out for them by JJ Redick and the coaching staff.
“We had a gameplan, and we executed,” James said after the game. “For the majority of 48 minutes, we executed, and we know it’s a great team, defending champions, great players, and they’re going to put you in situations that’s uncomfortable, which you have to be uncomfortable in order to compete.
