The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics represent the greatest rivalry in sports. These two franchises are the NBA. That loud “YES” that you might have been heard is not from the Los Angeles Lakers or the Staples Center faithful. It is from the ESPN executives and the NBA front office.
NBA ratings have been awful this season and if this game doesn’t turn things around, nothing will. The NBA’s greatest rivalry between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers played in the greatest game this season so far. WOW, what a game.
Who would have thought the Lakers would follow up their worst game of the season getting blown out 139-107 in Boston, with possibly their most important win of the season.
