It’s a cross conference showdown on Friday night in Los Angeles. The Boston Celtics make the trip cross country to take on the Lakers. It’s a match up between teams who have completely different goals for this season.
The Celtics are trying to keep winning, and hopefully finish the season with a two seed in the Eastern Conference. On the other side the Lakers are trying to keep their draft pick by finishing in the bottom three of the league.
Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics are coming into this game off their biggest win of the season. They beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in their last game. That puts them only three games back for the one seed.

Now it’s going to be an up hill battle for the Celtics to get that one seed but if they keep winnning anything can happen. In their last ten games the Celtics are 6-4.
The Celtics are decent on both sides of the ball but their strength seems to be closing out games. When they get in a close game the Celtics seem to know how to win them.

It would really be nice if the Celtics could win this game early, and rest some of their starters in the fourth quarter. This game is the first game of a five game road trip, so if they can keep their legs fresh in this game, it could help them later on.
For the Celtics to win they just can’t overlook this game. They are the better team in this match up and they need to take this game seriously. or they could be upset.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are in full tank mode, trying to make sure they get a top three pick in next year’s draft so they are able to keep the pick.
During the trade deadline they traded away Lou Williams, who some would argue was having the best year for the Lakers for a first round draft pick, and Corey Brewer.
The Lakers come into this game having only won two of their last ten games. Most of their loses these days aren’t close either. Seven of the eight loses have come by more than five points.

For the Lakers to win this game it’s going to come down to the defensive side of the ball. They need to be able to slow down Isiah Thomas and the rest of the Celtics squad.
