Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics Full Game Highlights 1st Qtr | Dec 5 | 2025 NBA Highlights

for a slow start, Billy. Five wins in six games and they’ve been against the better teams in the Eastern Conference. So, they’re coming. Uh they’re not the team maybe that they were a couple years ago, but they’re very good. They’re playing some good basketball. Yeah, you mentioned after 13 games, they were under 500. So, back to back for both these teams. Reeves from the outside. Rebound they battle for and there is Walsh. Expect to see a lot of Walsh on a Reeves. It was Brown picking up the first possession this time. Yep. Jaylen will bring it right out to Pritchard. They’ll swing it all the way to the other side. You mentioned there’s Walt. He’s got it. Nothing but net. Just put him into the starting lineup a couple of games ago. Doesn’t start every night, but terrific athlete. He can knock down a three. So, keep an eye on him on the perimeter. He had a careerhigh in points last night when they just washed the Washington. Oh, that’s a Don Nelson. It goes up, it goes down, and it’s good for the Lakers first hoop of the night. The ball doesn’t always stay in the hands of Gabe Vincent long. Once he gets it, he is absolutely ready to fire and matches the first three from the Celtics. Right now, the rims favor the Lakers. 45point win against Washington last night. Again, a short-handed team. Jaylen Brown didn’t play last night as Ka throws down the lob jam. Yeah, Kada set a screen and got all the way to the rim for the lob over the top of Aton who was up in a held position there. Only NBA born in Portugal, Kada. Here’s Leabia had a really good game last night. There’s Ruy. Corner of the key. Not going to be there. Rebound. DeAndre Aton underneath. He’ll turn a little mid-range. Goes up, over and out. A rare miss from DeAndre. Figured out what to do with Lucas is on the court. He’s figured out with LeBron. He’s made fast progress here at Purple and Gold. All right. If you’re just tuning in, Steu a little under the weather. So, Mike stepping in last minute, literally the last minute. Here’s White from the outside and it’s going to be a team rebound credited to the Lakers. Out of bounds and here they come 2 minutes into the game. Look at the fullourt pressure Austin Reeves all nice. You get the idea. He is your primary ball handler. He uh can he go 40 minutes tonight? Who knows? He’ll turn, he’ll shoot. He had plenty of time at the free throw line last night in that win in Toronto. Nearly stumbling his ground now on the right hand side. That one rolls around and spills out by Bridgetard and Reeves will hippity hop into the front court in the attacking 47 here at the TD Garden Full House on a Friday night. Jake spinning in trouble. Eightton kicks it corner. Ruy not going to get there. Rebound Boston. Well, and both had a chance to shoot inside and said they opt for the extra pass. Just doesn’t pay off this time. Yeah, Lakers start one for six. Brown on the attack. short arms it although might have been there to alter things. Ruie attacks the rim gets bumped down he goes and they’ll have numbers coming the other way. They got a power play five on four. White kicking right back to Derek White for three. He took advantage of the numbers there as it was really getting back or lagging in transition after he fell out of bounds. Here come the Lakers second in the West currently. They’re 4 and a half back of OKC and the Thunder have won 13 games in a row. Boston comes in tied for fifth in the O. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Ooh, Brown Being trying to pay it off by making it himself as Laabia went down, but they do get the basket. Three for five from three. Now it’s White taking advantage. This time Larabia fell. He got some contact there from Jaylen Brown and White took full advantage. And what do I say? don’t rely as much on the three. Well, they have been the last few years as you know. They have been three happy. 80 run for Boston. Lakers a little short on their shooting tonight. Again, we know that they’re on the back to back, but so is Boston even though theirs was against Washington last night. Lakers have missed their last six. Can they get the defensive rebound? They do. A tap from Ruie now to AR whose numbers, as Mike talked about, ridiculous when Luca and LeBron aren’t playing. That’s a good seal that time on an entry pass and the bucket by Larabia. Oh, they love that hit ahead pass. Anytime you can see it, if they can get a seal, this time it’s Larabia keeping his man behind him and Reeves executes the pass over the top. Pritchard trying to create a little bit of real estate. K little mid-range one hand push. Oh, how’d that not go in? And the rebound taken by DeAndre eight new averages nearly nine a game. Reeves looks to get to the rim of it goes. It doesn’t go and he’ll go to the line and shoot two. Oh, Billy remember. Oh, turnovers in that game. All right, here’s AR at the line. How about this right now from Carl’s Jr.? Yeah, but what a way to end it with a decision whether to shoot it or not. If he makes it, they win. He gets to 10. If he misses, they go to overtime. Five minutes and they probably gets to 10 there. But he made the right play and kicked it to Ruie. Jada corner. Walls has to hustle and get it. Trying to go one-on-one with Hachamura. They’re in a lot of trouble during this possession. And Pritchard steps back and hits it anyway. A tough shot. Pritchard is good at making the tough ones as he ees that in before the shot clock expires. He’s a duck from the University of Oregon. Pton Pritchard now in his sixth year. Rooie underneath. Well, Ka was right there. Last line of defense and said it’s up to Brown. Former California Golden Bear Jaylen Brown. Oh, good pass underneath. Look out. Walsh goes down. The is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, but he might be a better passer, which is sort of hard to compute that he just that is sort of the way that he was taught to play the game. Remember earlier in his career when he would get ripped for not taking the hero shot? There was a pass right to Daniel Mro as Theo immediately explodes to the rim. Just doesn’t get the finish. First sub off the bench, by the way. JJ told us that was coming. A do and now it’s Derek White from long distance and they hit yet another three. Boston shooting nearly 60% out of the gate. The Lakers just 241. So the offense has been anemic so far. They got Nick Smith Jr. who made a couple of sensational plays last night. One defense to offense specifically in the second half. AR attacks the rim all the way. Going to come up short. They’re battling underneath. Blocked once. Eighton stays with it and scores. Well, I love that Reic goes right to the rookie though because they absolutely need some pop, some athleticism, some juice coming off this tough backto back landing from Canada last night after a game that obviously went down to the wire. Speaking of players like the rookie Aduro, who I know everybody likes. Yeah, I’m glad you mentioned Marcus. He was welcomed back here to Boston where he had some really solid years. Now Brown on the outside guarded by Reeves. Kick it into the corner. Walsh. If you’re not familiar with him, get ready. Here’s Kada. A nice interior pass. And Kada lays it up and in. That was a good close out there from Hachi Mura to make Walsh give the ball up, but he just happens to find Kada who’s been good for Boston this year. This is one of 12 games a very busy night in the NBA. Ruy camping out in the corner. That is string music for Hachimura. Yeah, Lakers needed that one. Just the second three now. Boston on the other hand has four. Well, you know, Ruie had 12 last night. Three nights after a 23minute goose. Just never saw the basketball couple of games ago. He’s got to get it. The Lakers have to move it and enable him to have the opportunity. Here’s Anthony Simons. That one’s a killer, Billy. Right. It’s the tip out offensive rebound. Those are the best threes to shoot and Simons just walked right into the wide open look. Well, he changes coasts and comes here to Boston. Smith Junior, you know, he loves to shoot. When you look at, you know, per 36 minutes, he shoots the most, the third most on the Laker team. He’s ready to roll. You just saw that the ball barely touched his hands. And not only does he take it, Billy, but he switches it right now. Rebound all alone was Hachimura. 24-5. First of two meetings between these clubs this year. And a turnover. And for the Lakers, that is just their second tonight. The first resulted in a three for Boston. Boston has yet to turn the ball over. Brown on the outside. Gets right around Reeves. Here he goes. Kada again. Put it up and miss. Rebound taken by Austin and he looks for the outback. Kada just blew that one. He had him in position. Ruy halted on his progress and then moving down rim running to the other end and not knock knocking it down from 10 ft. Missing it again was DeAndre A. Seen a lot of that so far, Billy. Shots that Austin usually hits that DeAndre usually hits. They just haven’t been going down tonight. Jaylen Brown walks in and scores. As you mentioned, Re is 0
