Lakers stun Celtics with 3rd home defeat as LeBron James, Anthony Davis watch from bench

The pregame injury report on Thursday looked like bad news for the Los Angeles Lakers.

But with All-Stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis both sidelined for a showdown with the Celtics, Lakers roles players delivered a stunning 114-105 upset in Boston.

The loss was just the third at home for the Celtics following a 22-2 start at TD Garden. It was also their third in the last two weeks since a franchise-best 20-0 start at home.

Austin Reaves delivered the offense for Los Angeles in a 32-effort that saw him hit a career-high seven 3-pointers.
