Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics Full Game Highlights 3rd Qtr | Dec 5 | 2025 NBA Highlights

First five minutes are the most important stew under the weather tonight. Michael, thank you for stepping in and happy holidays wherever you are to everyone watching here on Spectrum Sports Net. Again, two nights from now we’ll be in Philadelphia to end this 4day three game road trip and then it’s on to cup play next week. Let’s get it going here in the second half. Good day there. Yeah, you know, the Lakers kind of stayed in the game a little bit at the free throw line in that second quarter. I mean, they just the disparity was huge in that second quarter from the free throw line. So, the Lakers get a defensive stop to start. The reason that he gets to the free throw line so much is because he’s good at creating an advantage for himself against his defender and creating contact. He’s not tricking the refs. This is the difference. There there have been players in the league in the last several years where Would you like to name them? I won’t say who, but some guys will go up and they’ll grab your arm with their off arm. the dark arts type stuff. Reeves will actually trick his defender into reaching into the cookie jar and then use that to get to the free throw line which to me is a different thing. Reeves is hit. They say play on as Walsh do a little contact. Shot by Labradia. At first I thought he might have been lobbing it to Eightton, but that’s off. Now it’s taken by Jaylen Brown. Stop. Pop three. Got it. Down it goes from long distance. Exactly the thing the Lakers are hoping to avoid, right? missing a shot. An open one in the paint and then transition triple. Brown’s got 14. Back for Brown. That’s his first made three tonight, believe it or not. Ruy mid-range and it settles in. Yeah, anytime Hachimura is able to get to a spot like that and he has several spots, but he’s if he’s able to get and rise over the defender there, it’s going down. Looking for two in a row when finding it is Brown. So quiet in the first half from beyond the arc. Brown hits two. Well, Laravia got hit there on his screen and he felt like he wasn’t able to get back up on it. Billy Vincent answers back, rattling it in from downtown. And the game plan certainly isn’t to let Brown walk into a three, right? And so here you see just a big screen there. Three in a row. Three in a row. Now the big has to come up on that Kada not they have not been able to navigate those screens and that’s three in a row now. So, we’ll see if they shift the coverage at all. Reeves enters the paint. Now, it’s Laravia on the kick outside. Reeves was underneath and that’s knocked out of bounds. No, last touch by to JJ Reick. So, nice job there from the coaching staff and Reic and we’ll see if Reeves pays it off. I don’t even think he look back at him. He said immediately. We’re going to challenge this. Yeah, but they do do a great job. How about this right now from Morango Dory live January 10th single time. Uh, we’re going to give it to him now, even if they don’t do anything. I got the answer for you. A lot. Yeah. Yeah. But it’s great see everybody employed and doing something. Here’s Brown. Yeah, you’re right. It was different back in the day when Steu Berg were around and put up and in. No defense at all for the Lakers. Kay got free in the paint and LEGO’s a little bit late to rotate as you and I are right in front of JJ Redic his expression. You got to be on the ball there on the baseline. And we’re just in the second minute. Two minutes at least gone here. Oh, Reeves goes all the way and he scores. He doesn’t need much room, does he? No, it’s beautiful. That time he attacked the pressure and that’s what you have to do. Walsh all over him and Kada up and he still gets the rim. Oh, Brown doing the dance. He’s led this team. It’s going 17 times. Everybody stopped and then they just knock it down from long range. Yeah, that’s happened one too many times tonight and you can just see some of the I don’t know if it’s physical or mental fatigue, some combination from the Lakers. Ruy gets it back. A three of his own. Hajimura who averages about 33 minutes a game, 14 points, three and a half rebounds. Not even 24 hours removed from that huge corner three that Hajim made. You know, Ruie sixth in the NBA in three-point percentage and just overall field goal percentage, he’s in the top 20. You know, he didn’t enter the league as a knockdown shooter. That was not his thing. He was more of an athlete as this time. Well, if it was a closer game, this would be a thing. But Jordan Walsh just picked up his fourth foul. There’s a delivery by Reeves. And Brown shows up to get the rebound. That is his fifth rebound, making his sixth of the contest. Boy, his usage rate is way up. Look out. out on top. You know, he’s physical. He doesn’t need an inch. Brown goes through one. Two Lakers can’t hit the little runner fighting to get it back. You know, Reeves disrupted that, Billy, by just holding his ground and he made Brown try to shift his body to avoid a charge. That might be why he missed it. Lavia bouncing in now back to the basket on the right side. Isolated Ruie. Loravia with eight to shoot. Gets into his action now. Ruy had a three if he had wanted it and up against him got a whistle. Well, it’s going to be 3 seconds on Aiden. And in this case, you know, Larabia, you can just turn a good shot when you got one. 3 seconds is not called very often. You got to be pretty egregious to get that called against you. And obviously, as you mentioned, Aiden was sending up a little bit of a bivwack in the key and that whistle finally was called. Pritchard on the outside. Pritchard with the Reeves right in front of him. Four to shoot. He’s going to let it go. comes up shortly. Quickening out of Reeves, waits for everybody else to come into the front court. Surveys and finds Vincent. Good. Yeah, as he swung it over to him right on the rim and Loravia stays with it. Down he goes and he’ll shoot two free throws. Took a heavy shot there from Kada. Great. And with LeBron and Luca, we are witnessing history being made. Gestion and Michael reads it kind of how he wants to. Straight as a string. Impressive. He was a totally different guy. He wore a tie one now. Well, he I ran into him at halftime and he told me that he wants to know what’s your if you had your Christmas shopping cover and I said, “Why don’t we at least wait till the fourth quarter, Michael, before we get into that?” Oh, yeah. They they are somewhere other than basketball right now. Nice play from Theo and it’s up to Adu right back to Ruie. So, Lakers get an opportunity with that stop and Ruy’s got the two and that means timeout Boston. everybody else on the court cuz he’s the only one that didn’t play last night that is playing tonight. Uh on the ball right now. Ravius stepping into the passing lane and he throws it down. Jake on the break and the slam and might have hurt his back a little bit. Tweaked it just a bit. Went down hard with that finish there from Jake. Did Here’s Brown. You know, Brown reached 12,000 points the other night and his quote was, “How the blank does the dirty work, does the little things and maybe he’ll keep earning more minutes as the season goes on.” That is a stat that you love and Steu doesn’t. Well, you have to put it into context. Everybody here’s Brown for sure. Here’s Brown. Slides over to the right. Going to be short. Not saying anybody’s right or wrong. It’s a preference. Taken down by AR. AR across the timeline. Going to lean into the three. And he’s got it, Mike. And here come the Lakers. 8568. It’s under 20. I say that because the biggest lead was 29. Lakers have not led. It is a 9. Purple and gold run here in Boston at the Garden. Brown over to Pritchard. They could use this one and they get it. Just when they want to dial one up, they give it to Pritchard and he knocks it down. And that cuts into that momentum certainly that the Lakers have been building. Now Reeves has been really good in this third quarter after a slow field goal start in the first half for the five Boston starters earned double figures. Good balance on their side. Re tried to lean in and get the foul. Did not. They could not get the hoop. Came up a little bit short. Brown goes around Moravia. Brown all the way. Brown scores. Well, with Walsh in foul trouble, now they’ve turned to Gonzalez, kind of a a defensive specialist so far for Boston this season. Really moves his feet well from Spain. You know, it’s been a superstar three-game stretch for Brown. Couple of games over 40 and the other one where he did get 40, he had a triple double. Now Reeves with five to shoot, four to shoot. Austin walks in and count it and one. fun to track and any time that I can try to facilitate a little bit of a shot at one kerosene on the fire. Well, it’s just because it’s all it’s all based in this budding friendship, which is why it’s fun, right? And you know, sometimes the way that guys communicate that can be different, but a lot of love between those two. Hower three. Hower with three more. Well, they’re up to 19 threes and we’re in the third quarter. Still four minutes to go. Le battling. Can’t score. Wanted a call there. Here they come. Brown down the middle. He goes all the way. Score. That’s a tough shot for Jaylen Brown. Jax was in the way and somehow he threw it up
