Celtics 120 – 107 Lakers<\/h1>\n

Lebron’s side took another hit last night when Celtics took the win with not too much difficulty.<\/p>\n

In the 1st quarter, Lakers put up a good fight with a higher presence in the paint than the Celtics however they were outplayed from behind the 3 point line. this resulted in the Lakers falling behind by just 1 point for the quarter finishing 24-25 in Celtics favour.<\/p>\n

This was unfortunately where the positives end for the Lakers. In quarter 2 the Celtics stepped up their pace, and unfortunately, Lebron’s team just didn’t match, struggling at both ends of the court. Lakers were also giving Celtics a helping hand with 8 turnovers before half time.<\/p>\n

Celtics increased the lead with quarter 3. Lakers started to show a comeback in quarter 4 but by this time the damage had already been done.<\/p>\n

The main factor throughout the game that resulted in the Lakers 5th straight loss was simple, turnovers, too many mistakes were made. Lakers have to protect the ball more.<\/p>\n

It looks like the Lakers will have a busy summer in training. Especially since their playoff hopes have disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
