Lakers News: LeBron James Calls Loss To Celtics ‘Old-Fashioned Butt Whooping’

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers finally laid a dud as they were embarrassed by the Boston Celtics, suffering their second loss in their past three games.

The Lakers actually went up by eight points in the first quarter but were then overwhelmed by a Celtics team that looked much more energetic and focused on both ends of the floor.

James did his best to keep Los Angeles within striking distance in the first half but eventually, he and the rest of the team folded in the third quarter when Boston blew the game open.
