Already playing without Al Horford, the Celtics lost star rookie Jayson Tatum early in the first half due to right ankle soreness. Aron Baynes led the team with 21 points and 8 rebounds, and Kyrie Irving continued to show off his unbelievable handles with another highlight reel dress down of the entire Lakers defense late in the first quarter. Marcus Smart's vicious rejection of a Lonzo Ball floater at the end of the first half summed up the Lakers efforts tonight, as the C's extend their win streak to 10 games in the 107-96 victory.

The odds are stacked against Lonzo Ball tonight in Boston, as the rookie point guard will have his hands full against the NBA's top-ranked defense.

With Al Horford out tonight due to concussion-like symptoms, Marcus Morris starts in his place.

According to a tweet by the Boston Celtics, star big man Al Horford will miss tonight's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers after entering the league's concussion protocol this morning. Horford missed nine games early last season with a concussion.
