LeBron James and the Lakers had to accept defeat from the Boston Celtics tonight at Crypto.com Arena. While he made his opinions known regarding the same, the “King” isn’t one to linger on losses. He has already moved on. LeBron might very well have been sitting courtside at the Baltimore Ravens vs San Francisco 49ers game.
That’s how engaged he is in the game. Providing regular comments on the match, Bron is hustling the Ravens to bring home the win. “SHEESH!! BAL IS BALLING,” with a raven emoticon at the end.

James’s love for football is old news. When he is not hooping, he is either playing or watching football. And providing commentary on it too. The 49ers seem to be on Santa’s naughty list this Christmas, as they don’t look too good on home court. 19-33 at the 6:15 mark in the fourth quarter, the Ravens are holding the reins tight!
Hopefully, the Baltimore Ravens can fulfill LeBron’s wish tonight. Until then, let’s take a look at the Celtics vs Lakers game.
Boston Celtics vs Los Angeles Lakers
The Celtics had big man, Kristaps Porziņģis, tonight in the lead with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and two assists. The rest of the starters also were not behind the lead man; all of them scoring in double digits, with a least of 18 points. While Boston was celebrating, the Lakers had Anthony Davis as their pride.

AD scored a double-double with 40 points and 13 rebounds. Except for Davis, the rest of the team scored below 20 points for the night. While the matchup was between the arch-rivals and two dominant teams, the game didn’t offer too much for the crowd. Except for the few noteworthy glimpses here and there, LeBron had echoed the sentiments everyone was thinking post-game.
The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers have played 299 regular season games. Out of these, the Celtics hold the highest number of wins – 166 to the Lakers’ 133. With the Christmas day defeat, Los Angeles’ loss to Boston has become a three-game losing streak combined with the last season.

Lagging only in the third quarter with a dunk from Jarred Vanderbilt, the “Beantown” soon took control back. Anyway, the Celtics’ lead was too much for the Lakers to even try a late comeback. Their next game is against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday. Hopefully, it will see the LA Lakers in better form!
