The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Boston Celtics on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers are 1-2 on their current six-game “Grammy” road trip, and it took a turn for the worse when they got blown out by the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. With a 24-25 record, they’re clinging to ninth place in the Western Conference and are just one game ahead of the 11th-place Houston Rockets.
Just about everyone agrees that overall, Boston is the best team in the NBA right now. It has a league-best 37-11 record, and it is second in offensive rating and third in defensive rating this season.
The Celtics defeated the Lakers at Crypto.com Arena on Christmas Day without too much difficulty, 126-115. Anthony Davis, who sat out Tuesday’s contest in Atlanta, scored 40 points on 15-of-26 shooting, but it wasn’t enough, as the Celtics held LeBron James to 5-of-14 shooting.
