It’s no secret the Lakers-Celtics rivalry isn’t what it once was. Larry Bird and Magic Johnson aren’t walking through that door, nor are Paul Pierce and Kobe Bryant.

You might see LeBron in there too on occasion, but let’s be honest, he’s got his own suite — and he’s probably in there right now resting. But I digress…
The Lakers and Celtics met last night, for the second this season, concluding another chapter in their long and storied history.
