Celtics Dominate Lakers 126-105 to Secure Fourth Straight Win
The Boston Celtics displayed a commanding performance against the Los Angeles Lakers, securing a decisive 126-105 victory at TD Garden. This win marks the Celtics’ fourth consecutive triumph, cementing their momentum in the 2025-26 season.
Celtics vs. Lakers: A Historic Rivalry
The matchup between the Celtics and Lakers is storied, filled with historic moments. Although Friday’s game may not have added to that legacy, it was significant for Boston’s current success.
Key Player Performances
- Jaylen Brown: Led the Celtics with an impressive 30 points, along with 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
- Jordan Walsh: Continued his hot streak with 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks. He has made 18 out of his last 19 field goal attempts.
Brown’s consistent performance has been crucial for Boston this season. Walsh’s recent success adds depth to the Celtics’ offense.
Lakers’ Challenges
Los Angeles faced significant challenges during the game. Star player LeBron James was sidelined due to left foot joint arthritis. Additionally, former Celtic Marcus Smart missed the game with a left lumbar muscle strain, and Luka Doncic was unavailable for personal reasons.
Looking Ahead for the Celtics
With this victory, the Celtics have established their longest winning streak of the season. They aim to extend this run in their next game against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday afternoon.
As the season progresses, maintaining such momentum will be vital for Boston’s championship aspirations.
