It’s always a big game when the Boston Celtics take on the Los Angeles Lakers. With both of the historic rival franchises in a position to contend for titles and the score between the two storied clubs tied at 16 banners each, this particular meeting ought to be filled with a playoff-like atmosphere as Boston hosts LeBron James, Anthony Davis and their teammates.
And with the Celtics nearly back to full strength with the return of All-Star veteran point guard Kemba Walker and All-NBA small forward Jayson Tatum combining with the deadly midrange play of star forward Jaylen Brown, we may well have a classic by the time the final buzzer sounds Saturday night.
