When the Los Angeles Lakers took the court on Friday to play against the Boston Celtics, it was crystal clear that they would be up against it after it was revealed that both Luka Doncic and LeBron James wouldn’t play. Doncic missed a second straight game due to a personal matter, while James sat out due to sciatica and a left foot ailment.

This game got away from the Lakers early, as they fell behind by double digits midway through the first quarter and trailed 39-17 at the end of the period. The Celtics seemingly couldn’t miss from 3-point range throughout the game. They went 13-of-25 from that distance in the first half, which Los Angeles shot just 32.5% overall, allowing them to take a 69-46 lead at halftime.

Things didn’t get better for L.A. afterward, as it fell by a final score of 126-105. It shot 42.9% from the field for the game, while Boston was at 54.1% overall and 53.3% from 3-point land.

The Lakers now have a 16-6 record, and this loss moved them back from second to third place in the Western Conference.

Jake LaRavia: D

LaRavia wasn’t able to provide any real offensive support with both of the Lakers’ superstars out. He went 2-of-6 from the field and finished with six points, three steals, one rebound and one assist in 21 minutes.

Rui Hachimura: B

Hachimura turned in a real solid game, and he has had plenty of those so far this season. He scored 13 points on 5-of-11 overall shooting and 3-of-7 from downtown, and he also grabbed seven rebounds in 29 minutes. However, Hachimura’s work on the boards didn’t help enough, as the Lakers got outrebounded 39-35.

Deandre Ayton: D-plus/C-minus

Ayton did a good job on the boards with 10 rebounds and had one steal and one block, but offensively, he was fairly ineffective. He made just three of his nine shot attempts and never got to the free throw line, giving him six points in 28 minutes. The Celtics did a pretty good job of limiting his easy opportunities near the rim, especially off passes from his teammates.

Gabe Vincent: A

Give Vincent credit for pulling his weight offensively in this game. In his two seasons and change with L.A., he has mostly been erratic and inconsistent with his shooting, but on this night, he made half of his 10 shot attempts and eight 3-point tries, giving him 18 points, which is by far a season high for him.

Austin Reaves: A-minus

Reaves missed all five of his shot attempts in the first quarter, but after that, he played like the borderline superstar he has appeared to be so far this season. Overall, he went 9-of-18 from the field, 3-of-8 from 3-point range and 15-of-17 from the free throw line to score 36 points while dishing off eight assists and adding three rebounds.

Nick Smith Jr.: A-minus

Smith again got some meaningful playing time, and he again did well. He was 5-of-10 from the floor and made half of his 3-point attempts to score 13 points, to go along with two rebounds, two steals and one block in 24 minutes.

Jaxson Hayes: C-plus

In 14 minutes, Hayes got four rebounds, scored three points and had one steal.

Dalton Knecht: D-plus

Knecht made just one of his five shot attempts and ended up with five points, one rebound and one assist in 14 minutes.

Maxi Kleber: D

In 16 minutes, Kleber only managed one rebound and missed his lone shot attempt.

Adou Thiero: C

Thiero got 20 minutes of playing time on Friday, and while he moved around in an energetic fashion, he didn’t produce much. He missed both of his shot attempts and went scoreless, and his only positive contribution was three rebounds.

The rookie forward is clearly not ready for meaningful playing time in the NBA right now.

Bronny James, Drew Timme: Incomplete

The younger James and Timme got seven minutes of playing time apiece. Timme went scoreless and had two rebounds and three assists, while the younger James went 2-of-3 from the field, which included a made trey, to score five points. The second-year guard also had one assist, one steal and two turnovers.
