The Celtics started cold from 3, but Jaylen Brown’s 10 point first quarter, and a heavy dose of daring Russell Westbrook to shoot kept things close. The Celtics started the second on a nice run behind Malcolm Brogdon and Jayson Tatum, but the Lakers closed on a 27-12 run to take a 6 point halftime lead. The teams traded runs with Boston starting hot, the Lakers hitting with a big haymaker, and then Boston tying things up heading into the fourth. The Lakers built a 7 point lead almost halfway through the quarter, but Brown returned to the game with five fouls and took over down the stretch to force OT, and help carry them to the win.
