Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics Full Game Highlights 2nd Qtr | Dec 5 | 2025 NBA Highlights

Anybody that wants to try and um kick the Lakers while they’re down early, it is the hated Boston Celtics as they see the tacos are on the line. If the Lakers can make a comeback and win the game, we’re going to score a couple of free tacos with their drink purchase from Jack in the Box tomorrow. Let’s see if the Lakers can get Austin Reeves on track a little bit. We got Reeves, Vincent, Hayes connect, and Loravia on the floor for the Lake Show. Arabia that’s poked away from behind by Pritchard. Hower into the front court is now for Pritchard. Tries to dance around connect. Well, look at that low dribble by Pritchard. He puts it up and in. Soft touch. Everything continuing to fall for Boston right now. Austin Reeves 0 for five in that first quarter. Again, very atypical. He’s been so efficient. And there’s a turnover. Yeah. Loses it. Shyman. Good charge. Not there. Rebound. Larabia. We’re going to see DeAndre Aton coming in when it’s dead. Reeves trying to go behind the back. He’s trying to get in. Pushes off a little bit and then rattles it in off the backboard. Yeah, tough finish there with May not closing in for the double as Ree gets his first bucket to go. One for six, four points, but they answer right back. And once again, Josh might not. who went to Memphis for a year, signed a two-year deal middle of the summer, was a second round pick originally from Charlotte. I mean, look, everything they’re shooting is going in right now. 8 for 12 for Boston from three and not all of them have been open and overall 64% the scoop and the score, the up and under by AR. Look, Billy, right now Reeves is a clear all-star. Okay, the numbers back it up, the eye test backs it up. uh he’s playing that way and for somebody that’s averaging about 30 to also be in the NBA and charges drawn as my goodness speculation about whether or not he’ll return. Assists I’m coming back. He says I’m coming back. I know and maybe he will if they go deep in the playoffs. Who knows? Aton and AR. He’s got the basketball right now. They triple up on him. So Aiden spins in the lane. Easy does it for DeAndre. Oh, it’s pretty Andrew there getting over to his favored right hand, leaving Kada no real chance to contest. And there’s the soft finish that we’ve seen so much of from Aiden this season. Second in the NBA in field goal percentage of the Lakers changing up their defense. Here’s Pritchard. Per goes all the way to the jam. All too easy for Ka again who’s living in and around the rim. Yeah, they’re at 67% from the field. But Billy, to go back to what you said about Aiden, especially impressive that he’s at that high of a rate of efficiency since not a ton of dunks. Like he’s dunking a decent amount, but a lot of jump shots. Connect from the outside. Yeah, it’s not all in the restricted area, which that one was close to. I He’s all over the floor. Hasn’t taken a three. He’s not taken a three all season, though. And he has in years past. I mean, the only player that’s that efficient like around 70% is Joic, if you take away the threes, it’s another three falls for Boston. But Joic in that area where Aiden is scoring from, he’s at around 70%, too. They’re the only two. There’s nobody else that is that efficient to take those shots. On the night that I say they haven’t relied as much on threes, how about this right now from Jack in the Boxing, and we’ll get to it. With my $6 jackpack, you can choose between a great deal and a great deal. Welcome to Jack. The Lakers not only did it offensively, but defensively right at the end of the game. Yeah, with his block shots. This is Walsh. Hand off Pritchard. Boy, never ending energy from Pritchard. Yeah, took the extra step there. Yep. So, it’s turnover time. Nice job there from Reeves and Cleba. No airspace. Yeah, these two franchises have met 12 times in the finals. Last time the 2008 2010 and they take it away again. So, the Lakers six turnovers. Hower in and out. No, but they get a second chance. Extra 14 on the clock. Hower, he’ll try another three. That’s an air ball that’s going to go out of bounds for the Lakers. You saw that last turnover on Reeves just dribbling it off his foot, right? Like that’s uncharacteristic of Reeves. It it happened a couple of games ago against Phoenix. Most of that went away as he was awesome last night in Toronto. 40 plus points. He’s the first to tell you though he he can’t be doing that. Hook pass to Cleveland. Lakers avoided losing backto-back games last night. They haven’t lost backto back all season long, which is such a a great uh attribute for a really good team being able to bounce back the next San Antonio and Denver. And remember, San Antonio and the Lakers next Wednesday night, quarterfinals, NBA Cup at Crypto.com. Hey, there’s a little windshield wiper. Connect got a hand on it, but here comes Boston. Connect almost able to grab that one and and Billy, you see Boston just continuing to show so much attention to Austin Reeves as Pritchard gets one to go and trying to force anybody else to beat them. You see Walsh, one of the better perimeter defenders in the league today that probably people haven’t seen play a ton. has been attached to it. Well, they’re shooting 64%. You know, any way you cut it, any way you want to put the numbers down, Lakers are not a good defensive team. I mean, in really any way, shape, or form, they’re winning games mostly with their offense. We’re going to get we’re going to get a do back in the game. Theo win games, right? You you can’t be the best offense and defense mostly. understand it’s not like they haven’t played good defensive games as Dave misses but you know defensive rating they’re nearly in the bottom three you know that’s just when you look at the numbers how they’ve been and offensively they are a juggernaut you know Vincent made his first layup of the in person is like no other catch the lake show live and soak up it’s the official resale marketplace for your Lakers locking your seats right now lakers.com/t exchange so we’ll see if somebody can get rolling a little bit on offense here. Boston has slowed just a tad on the offensive side of the court here the last couple of minutes. Tough to keep up the pace that they were at. Somebody’s going to have to help him out. He looks for some friends. Finds Pritchard who launches one more time and Ruie up the ladder. He goes to get it and Gabe will be the one who brings it up this time for the lake show. Kada is laying some wood on those screens on the perimeter. Look at Aan again. There’s that patented little spin that he has. in the key and they’ll come back the other way. Hower, think about it. Think about this team. The ultimate green light. I mean, just about anybody in the NBA has it. You cannot leave Walsh alone like that. Interior pass. Kada can’t score and the Lakers have it. Yeah, Hower walked into that three at the top of the key. You’d like somebody to be waiting uh just considering, you know, how devastating of a three-point shooter he is. It was a deep pull, but that’s certainly one that’s in his range. The Lakers avoided it, though. And then he still didn’t score despite the up. You can look at any number for Austin Reeves yearby year just keeps going up, but it’s not there without the talent and that’s the thing maybe underestimated about him. And Mike, we’re all talking about how he’s having an allstar year. Most improved player award, too. I mean, he you have to put him in the conversation cuz the I think the hardest leap is from good to great. And that’s the leap that he’s starting to make this year. And you look I think to be in the all-star conversation as Vincent gets involved here that is getting to the great settles. Hower once again drives a three. Boy that’s pure. Well this time the Lakers had some more bodies on the strong side on the ball side and Hower just got free in the weak side. Nice skip pass and he pays it off. Well we just passed the halfway mark. Ruy trying to stop this train from rolling down the track at high speed. 5931. Reeves goes behind his back in a bit of trouble. Wide open is Vincent though. He’s going to try it right side right hand and he nails the three. Timeout Boston. Beautiful behind the back dribble there from Reeves to get some air. 26 field goal attempts in the first quarter and only made six of them. Been better this second quarter. It’s 20 to 17 for Boston. got to chip away just uh get eight or nine points off of this lead taking into the third quarter. White rolls around and comes out eight nearly knocked down his own man. And here comes Nick Smith Jr. who spent last year in Charlotte. Started a bunch of games for them too. Now to the right hand side looks to attack and he throws it away. Love that first step from the to get to the cup. Lakers unable to get points out of it though. And they kick it in the corner underneath again. Kada. He gets pushed once. No whistle. Shman the southpaw. Oh, and there were three Lakers there to get the rebound. Bad pass by White and it’s out of bounds. Well, the here’s the one of the issues.
