Overview
- Boston beat a shorthanded Los Angeles team 126-105 to improve to 14-9 and claim its fourth consecutive victory.
- Jordan Walsh added 17 points on 6-for-7 shooting with four threes one night after an 8-for-8 career-high, making him 18-for-19 over his last three games.
- The Celtics are 9-2 since Walsh entered the starting lineup, with his on-ball defense spotlighted in early possessions against Austin Reaves before Reaves finished with 36.
- Boston hit a season-high 24 three-pointers at 53.3% as Joe Mazzulla praised the evolving offense while acknowledging a dose of recent shooting luck.
- Jaylen Brown posted 30 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists and urged Walsh to stay detail-focused, as the team caps an 11-4, 15-game surge that still leaves rebounding and frontcourt depth on the to-do list.
