Los Angeles Lakers Vs Boston Celtics Game Day Preview

Jayson Tatum breaks himself and Celtics out of slump with career-high 41  points in just three quarters - CBSSports.com
Jayson Tatum – (Boston Celtics)

The Los Angeles Lakers frequent the home of the Boston Celtics in a primetime matchup tonight. The longtime rivals have played three games decided by two points or less in the past three seasons.

The Celtics have won six of the last nine meetings.

Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers have dropped their last two games on the road but head coach Frank Vogel is not concerned. “You have nights like this in a long season. We’ll be fine,” coach Frank Vogel said in the aftermath of the 107-92 defeat to the Pistons on Thursday. “None of us are happy with how we played tonight, but we’ll bounce back.”

Los Angeles scored just 34 points in the second half in the game against the Pistons. LeBron James and Kyle Kuzma paced Los Angeles with 22 points apiece, but the absence of Anthony Davis (bruised right quad) loomed large.

James scored just two points after halftime.

“We got to keep our minds fresh, keep our bodies fresh as much as we can to go out there and put together a complete 48-minute game, or close to 48 minutes,” James said. “Obviously we haven’t done it the last couple of games, and we just got to be better on Saturday.”

The Celtics are looking for a bounce back of their own. They enter into tonight’s game off a setback after failing to beat the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. They did come back from as much as 15 points and were up 101-99 with less than two minutes remaining. However they simply could not hang on and eventually lost 110-106.

“Obviously people know what we’re capable of on the defensive end, but we just gotta figure it out,” said forward Jayson Tatum, who had 25 points in the game. “We’ve got more than enough guys that are elite defenders.

“That’s kind of what we hang our hat on being on the Celtics – competing and defending. And honestly, we’re just not doing that right now, so we’ve got to figure it out.”

Overall, Boston has lost four of its last six games. The team’s projected starting five played together for the first time this season Wednesday after Tatum missed a handful of games earlier this month with COVID-19.
