Dennis Schroder makes the Lakers pay
The Boston Celtics marched to a 130-108 win because of an all-round performance. However, for Schroder, it was all the sweeter given the slander he had received in the off-season. As the teams came out of a timeout, Schroder took his opportunity to talk trash to the Laker bench. His actions resulted in him getting a technical foul, but he had made his point.
The Lakers started the game well with an 8 point lead to end the first quarter. The return of LeBron James clearly giving a boost. However, things went downhill as they lost every other quarter from thereon. Poor defense remained an issue as the Celtics piled on the points.
Anthony Davis was the star performer with 31 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Russell Westbrook had his struggles once again with all three stars sharing the floor as he ended with just 12 points on 5-13 shooting.
Dennis Schroder went off for 21 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds. Tatum was in his rhythm once again, topping all scorers with 37 points and 11 rebounds. Marcus Smart and Al Horford combined for 40 points and the Celtics improved to 8-8 for the season.
