The Boston Celtics remained undefeated through three games on their West Coast road trip by defeating a decimated Los Angeles Lakers team that competed throughout a 120-107 loss.
With Brandon Ingram officially ruled out for the remainder of the season, Lonzo Ball likely facing the same scenario, and Kyle Kuzma and Lance Stephenson unavailable due to respective injuries, Moritz Wagner made the first start of his career.
Wagner provided the Lakers with early energy and helped them keep pace with the Celtics into the second quarter en route to a career night. Johnathan Williams was also a bright spot off the bench, leading the Lakers with 10 points at halftime.
