Amid Trade Rumors, Austin Reaves Leads Lakers to Win vs Celtics w/o LeBron James and Anthony Davis

The Los Angeles Lakers pulled off an unthinkable, winning a game at TD Garden. Everything was going wrong for the team, losing two consecutive blow-out games on the road. And the team’s superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis sat out for the clash against the East’s top-seeding team. While one may expect a blow-out loss, Austin Reaves led the team to a famous 105-114 victory, slapping the Boston Celtics with a third home loss.

Reaves dropped 32 points with 7 three-pointers, supported by 5 Lakers stars who scored in double digits. Moreover, this famous win came in days before the trade deadline, around which the Lakers’ future roster is tied.

The Lakers town went through a roller coaster of emotions in the last few days, and it isn’t going to end soon either. The team cracked open a thrilling double overtime win against the Golden State Warriors. While the fans were in ecstasy, it double downed with a disappointing two consecutive blow-out losses. Now, the team won a game at The TD Garden without Bron and AD.

As the pundits and fans take a lot of positives from this game, the trade deadline stares right at the face. The Purple and Gold team have been in the trade talks for almost a month now. Several reports stated that the front office was interested in Atlanta Hawks’ Dejounte Murray and failed to come to a negotiation.

Moreover, those reports also stated that the Hawks would accept a trade only if the Lakers were ready to give up an All-Star. The only All-Star apart from James and AD is D’Angelo Russell, and he has been on the front line for the trade.

However, Reaves’ game winning performance might make a few changes in their preferences. Nevertheless, let’s a take a closer look at tonight’s game.

The Lakers breach the TD Garden

The Celtics held an unshakable authority with their home turf, but now it has been dismantled by the short-handed Lakers. It wasn’t D’Angelo Russell, who lit the torch with his 27-point average in the last 8 games. It was Reaves with 32 points. Meanwhile, D’Lo orchestrated the game with 16 points and 14 assists.

On the other hand, apart from Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis, the starters were off color, struggling to find buckets. Jaylen Brown dropped only 8 points with his poor shooting spree.
