The Lakers suffered their first loss in the Las Vegas Summer League tournament at the hands of the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. It was a frustrating loss to say the least. Not only did they succumb to their arch-rivals (yes, this matters even in Summer League), but nothing went their way in the second half against a team that had yet to win a single game in the tournament.
After leading by as many as 14 in the first half, the purple and gold had no answer for Boston’s 2-3 zone adjustment and their 38th pick in this year’s draft, Jordan Walsh, who had an impressive game with 25 points.
