Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James isn't a fan of the NBA MVP award, but surprisingly endorses Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown.

In the second game of a four-game road trip out west, the Boston Celtics made easy work of their long-time rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers. Boston’s much-improved defense thoroughly shut down the Lakers’ high-powered offense on Sunday night.

The Celtics vs. Lakers rivalry game starts 6 p.m. ET at Crypto.com Arena, with clean injury reports, except for Jayson Tatum. The post Is Today’s Celtics vs. Lakers Game on TV? Start Time, Channel, Streaming appeared first on Heavy Sports.

Boston’s defense, Payton Pritchard’s shotmaking, and Nikola Vucevic’s interior presence controlled the game from start to finish. Hugo Gonzalez also had his moment against Luka Doncic in a matchup that felt symbolic.

Lakers fans hoping to see Luka Doncic play in the 2026 NBA All-Star Game will get their wish. The Los Angeles superstar revealed Saturday he’s planning to suit up for Sunday’s big event at Intuit Dome in Inglewood.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a 34-22 record, which puts them firmly in the Playoffs. They are only a game behind the third-seeded Denver Nuggets, so the potential is there for the Lakers to break into the top seeds and become one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
