NBA LIVE! Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics LIVE | NBA PRESEASON | Sept. 18, 2025 | NBA 2K26
And it’s Simons with the ball for the Celtics. When this game is done, they’ll be off to Toronto taking on the Raptors. It’ll be the start of a three-game trip on the road. On the court for the Lakers to start the fourth, they’ve got Jake Larabia. Austin Reeves out there with Marcus Smart. Then there’s Jared Vanderbilt. And it’s Clea in at the center position locking down the middle. And here’s Reeves outside and Pritchard pulls it down. The Celtics with the lead. Pass to Simons over Reeves and it’s Simons missing. Well, the Lakers shooting it well around 55% for the game. And Smart goes up strong at the rim. It’s been all about Marcus Smart tonight. He’s giving them everything he’s got. Austin shooting a solid 47%. Now here’s Brown. He’s covered by Larabia. It’s good. And he drew contact on the shot. So he will go to the line. A three-point play opportunity. And a look at how the offensive approach has been going so far for the Celtics. All game long. They’ve been making it rain from the ark. And look, they’ve done it by feeding the hot hands. And also the number of points they’ve scored in the paint has been impressive. This coaching staff encouraging them to keep going inside. Free throw good Brown. And with Jaylen Brown on the wing, he feels like any given night he has the advantage in his matchup. He’s either too fast for the big guys or too strong for the small guys. That’s the problem. He is a handful on both ends of the floor. Also, five to shoot. This one for three. Hower grabs the board. The Celtics have gotten just one shot to fall out of three attempts in the fourth. Pritchard. The pass to Simons. [Applause] pulls up on the wing. Vanderbilt pulls it in. Usually he’s a master in the midi, but not that time. Lorravia right side. [Applause] Clea outside. Nice ball movement by Los Angeles. Labravia outside. 43. Hower grabs the board. Hower’s got his fourth rebound in this one. Simons passes to Pritchard. Back to Simons. Bush on the screen to the inside and finished off by Bush. And although he’s undersides at his position, his vertical. Yeah, that’ll clean up a few mistakes. A touch under two and a half minutes of pass now here in the fourth. Reeves the pass to Arabia [Applause] outside Vanderbilt Smart for three and Smart nails the triple. Marcus Smart understands how to get himself going and once he catches fire. Oh, this man’s going to stay aggressive now. And Joe Mazula calls timeout here. No doubt he’s going to utilize the opportunity to make sure they’re all on the same page here. life. We can cate [Music] I can’t [Applause] we can cate tonight. [Music] And some changes here for the Lakers. Connect comes in for Reeves and Luca Donic subbed in for Smart. Gives us a chance to catch up with Alli Leforce. Over the break, I listened in on Joe Mazula’s huddle. He told the team he has complete faith in them, saying, “We’re right there now. We just got to make that push and really take hold of the game. We can do that.” To me, it looked like his players are on the same page with him. Guys, back to you as always, Ally. We thank you. [Applause] Now, here’s Simons. He’s covered by Connect. [Applause] Now, here’s Simons. Connect with a defensive effort. He’s looking pretty unsettled at the moment. Doesn’t seem like he has a great feel for his shot. Donic on the wing defended by Pritchard. Nice finish from Luca. He’s been dominant all game long. Nobody on the floor can stop him. And look, let’s just say he knows it. Brown looking around. Bowser outside the three. Fires in the triple. He’s really become a better allound player. Brown’s passing continues to evolve. Nice find. Clea with a screen from deep. Here’s Donic. And this is exactly who you want taking that shot. He just missed it. [Applause] It’s Brown on the wing. He’s covered by Larabia. with the fadeaway. Not enough on that one as it misses. And so it’s Donic with it. He brings it up for the Los Angeles Lakers. They’ve given up just eight points in the fourth. Pass to Vanderbilt from deep. Boston pulls it in. 13 points was their biggest lead of the game. Outside Pritchard. Here’s Brown. That one doesn’t drop. Excellent D there from Labraia. Connect on the wing. Back to Donic. Shoots over Pritchard. And Donic the bucket on the assist by Connect. Donic has got 32 points. And when he puts it all together, look at the kind of night Luca can have. Wow. Clea against Bucher puts it up from 12. Oh, Brown inside. Hey, he’s more than just a shooter. And he’s coming off a huge performance and his confidence couldn’t be any higher. And his coach knows that, too. When it ain’t broke, leave it alone until someone stops him. Let him roll. Ooh, costly foul there. That’ll send him to the line for three free throws. The one guy you can neither speed up nor slow down. That’s Luca Donic. Yeah, BA. He completely dictates the pace from the opening tip till the final buzzer. He can control the game. [Applause] That’s good from Donic. Well, one of the many things that’s impressive about Luca Donuch, he double clutches so well, right? And even absorbs contact in the air and somehow someway still has a very high field goal percentage. Luca, his game defies logic. Maybe Luca’s logic. Here’s what Boston’s going with right now. Kadis checked in for Buché. Jason Tatum comes in for Brown and Derek White subbed in for Simons. Richard, it’s hard to believe, but this is already LeBron’s eighth season with the Lakers. Yeah, surpassing his first seven seasons with the Cavs. And look, this is his longest consecutive streak with one team. And he’s got a championship to show for it. And he makes all three. And Donas is a walking triple double threat. His versatility and confidence is really special. Outside Pritchard. Back to Tatum. [Applause] Rebound by the Lakers. Aiden’s got six rebounds in the game. Donic feeling it out a bit. Pass to Aiden. [Applause] Hower grabs the board. Hower’s got six rebounds now in the game. Now here’s Tatum. [Applause] There’s a screen now. White. He’s covered by Reeves. Austin needs to get off a shot here. Tatum. No luck on that one. Some solid defense from James. Here’s James on the wing. Pass to Aiden. Oh, stopping him there. Jams it in and he’s fouled. An opportunity in a three-point play. That one on Tatum. And a moment to look at the scoring approach in terms of where the points are coming from for the Lakers. Oh, they’ve been punishing the inside defense consistently in this one. Look, it’s been a very productive area of the floor for them. Also, lots of hustle on the offensive end, following shots and creating tons of second chance opportunities. Here’s what Boston’s going with right now. Jaylen Brown, he’s checked in for Hower and Simon has subbed in for Pritchard. All right, we’ve now got our 2K insider Shams Gerania on the line. He’s got a special report. Shams, it’s all yours. Well, thanks. The Celtics this summer trading Drew Holiday for Anthony Simons. Player almost a decade younger. Simon’s deep threat capability is definitely a fit for the way the Boston Celtics like to play, especially now moving forward. If he can fit in defensively, he could be a long-term contributor, guys. He’s more than capable. Okay, Sean, thank you. And so Brown will bring it up for the Boston Celtics. [Applause] And here’s White and it’s Simons penetrating that puts him in the lead. Simons has got 25 points. I’ll tell you, Simons can really book it when he’s at full speed. Good luck catching up from deep. Here’s Donic. It’s called in by White. White’s got five rebounds tonight. Simons outside. The three is up. Nails it from beyond the ark. And now a four-point Celtic lead. Their long range shooting since halftime has been as strong as you could hope for. They’ve done a great job of moving the ball tonight. Yeah, BA. Keeping everybody involved keeps everyone engaged. Here’s Reeves outside. Boston with a rebound. K’s got rebound number five here tonight. And they’re dialed in offensively. Sure are staying in attack mode and at the same time playing under control. [Applause] Tatum passes to Simons. Pocket six [Applause] and Aiden pulls it down. Aiden’s got rebound number seven tonight. Aiden a screen on White. Reeds the pass to Donic [Applause] to the paint. Simons with a steal. Pass to Brown outside. Here’s Tatum. [Applause] Here’s Kada Machimura covering. Ready off the pass. He lays it in. And what’s working here? Each guy is willing to make the next pass. And so JJ Reic calls for the timeout. He’s decided it’s time to clarify the situation, leaving little room for error. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Applause] Lakers trail by six. James with the ball. [Applause] Double team on James. Oh, and again unable to change momentum here. Brown attacking. It’s good. Carving up the defenders like a surgeon. Brown is gifted at getting all the way to the rim. James now eaten. [Applause] Now Reeves James a screen on White. Oh, a gorgeous feed. He hammered it down. And that’s how you lead a team. Literally. Here’s Tatum. [Applause] 151 left in the final quarter. [Applause] Smart play by Tatum using the fake to get the contact. shooting two. First free throw is good and that makes it a seven-point lead. One of the best players in the game today. Tatum’s work ethic and hunger to win more championship is special. [Applause] So, he gets them both and it’s an eight-point ball game. What a multi-talented swing. Tatum just continues to get better and better each year. [Applause] James inside rounds there. The BA the one hand dump just looks so fluid. Yeah, absolutely. even smooth when he’s powering it home like that. Here’s Kada who’s covered by Aiden. Here’s Simons. Look it. It goes. He’s just showing off tonight. Simons an explosive scorer with great energy. Lakers trail by eight. James deciding where to go with it. Eighton outside. Now James outside left for three. Cleared away by White. There’s 53 seconds left to play in the fourth. Brown outside. Here’s White outside. Tatum. Shot clock at five from downtown. Rebounded by Aiden. And Reeves has got the ball here for Los Angeles. Trailing by eight. Donic. Oh, the long ball. No good. They can simply hold on to the ball here. No question. BA, they deserve the win. And so it’s Boston with the W. A competitive game. You have to feel like this crowd gave him a little extra edge. Yeah, they really fed off the energy. You saw their activity level go up. Just a tremendous performance. All right, Allie’s ready to go. She’s courtside. Hey, Ally. We’ll see you there. Jason, with you guys being such a young team, how do you continue to improve to reach your potential? Uh, we got to watch film. I mean, we did a lot of good things today. A lot of things we do better, and uh, we just got to be focused, composed, play with a lot of poise, and, uh, we’ll be fine. Poise normally comes with experience, but because you’re so young, you’re finding it early. Congrats. All right, Ally. Thanks. Great stuff there. And that’s going to do it tonight folks for our broadcast for Richard Jefferson, Grant Hill, and Ally Leforce. This is Brian Anderson. Thank you for being with us. We’ll see you later.
