Well this one started off as a fun one and looked like a game that Tatum was going to dominate in. In the first four minutes of tonight's game, Tatum scored 14 points on 5-5 shooting and the Celtics had a 22-12 lead. From there it was pretty downhill. The Celtics were down 5 at half and that ballooned to being down 16 after the third. The Celtics really lacked any offensive punch in the second and third quarters only scoring 22 and 20 respectively. This is a game that really highlights the need for JB to get back. The last time the Celtics beat the Lakers, they did so by attacking the rim and we didn't do that nearly as much this time around and it showed. The Lakers gave the Celtics plenty of chances at a comeback in the 4th quarter but the Celtics never took full advantage of it. It actually would've been way worse if Nesmith and Pritchard didn't get hot in garbage time. This is a tough way to start a back to back in LA.
