Finally, the fifth game you should watch again on League Pass is the absolute shellacking of longtime rival Los Angeles Lakers, which saw the Celtics obliterate LeBron James and the Lakers 139-107.
Apart from the joy of seeing the Lakers faceplant in a nationally-televised game, there was a certain degree of pleasure visible in the play of the team living under the shadow of a potential Anthony Davis trade last season.
It was also Walker’s first win over James of his career; “I’m happy I got one at least, before he goes,” the UConn product said via the Associated Press at the time. “Who knows how long he can play, because he’s just incredible.”
The highlight reel dunk of Brown on LeBron might have earned the Georgian a technical for the stare down afterwards, but in terms of entertainment value, it was pure gold.
We hope this gave you some ideas for how to carry on without actual live games to watch in what would have been the final weeks before the 2020 NBA Playoffs — we’re missing the games every bit as much as all of you.
