LA Lakers vs Boston Celtics Match Player Stats and Ratings for February 1, 2024

The LA Lakers vs. Boston Celtics match on Thursday night was expected to be a lopsided contest as LeBron James and Anthony Davis both sat out with injuries. With seemingly not much to lose, the Lakers came out swinging behind Austin Reaves and Jarred Vanderbilt's monster first halves.

The Lakers were clinical overall from the deep, making 13-of-24 3s in the first half. They also forced 12 Celtics turnovers in the opening two quarters. The Lakers went into the locker room with an unexpected 60-46 advantage. LA maintained that hot streak with disruptive defense and winning 50-50 balls.

The Celtics were not nearly as engaged until the third quarter as they strung together a run and got the TD Garden behind them. However, the Lakers held them off and took a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers pulled off the unthinkable eventually winning the game 114-105 in front of a hostile TG Garden crowd behind Austin Reaves' season-high 32 points.
