Celtics Beat Lakers, 111-101, in Prime-Time Saturday Night Nationally Televised Game

 

Yes! The Celtics do it! LeBron and Luka come to the Garden with all the rest of the Lakers in tow, and after the First Quarter ended with a 33-33 tie, the Celtics explode in the Third, scoring 29 points to the Lakers 13. At one point, they had a 22-point lead, although beating the Lakers is never easy and L.A. got the score back to within four before Boston's final push.  

Tatum scored 40 points and had 12 rebounds. Brown scored 31. By comparison, Doncic had only 34 points and LeBron, 22. 

The Celtics next game is against the Utah Jazz on Monday night. 

What a day it's been! The Celtics beat the Lakers, Paige Drobny took a morning lead in the Iditarod, the BU women won the Hockey East Conference Championship, and the BU men ended their regular season with a resounding win. Even the Bruins managed to win a game! 

March 8, 2025 is a day that will live in infamy.
