The Boston Celtics ( 45 - 32 ) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers ( 16 - 60 ) 107 - 100 at Staples Center on Sunday . Kobe Bryant made sure to save enough in the tank to give the Lakers long time rivals a run for their money . Fresh off their thrilling upset against the Golden State Warriors , the Celtics rallied behind Isaiah Thomas and Jae Crowder . Evan Turner got the nod at shooting guard in place of Avery Bradley ( personal reasons ) and provided efficiency in the backcourt and clutch free throw shooting down the stretch . As the Celtics looked to rip off scoring runs , Bryant kept the Lakers within striking distance , as he finished with 34 points , four rebounds , one assist and three steals on 11 - of - 28 shooting . The 20 - year veteran had a chance to close the gap after two Even Turner free throws , but the ball rattled in and out and Boston grabbed the rebound to put away the game . Thomas scored 26 points on 10 - of - 20 shooting , to go along with two rebounds and six assists , while Crowder contributed 22 points , five rebounds and five steals . Jae Crowder was tremendous on the defensive end of the floor and a needed piece in Brad Stevens ' rotations , especially with the Celtics closing in on the 3 - seed for the Eastern Conference . Turner exited the game with under one minute to play in the fourth quarter after what appeared to be an unintentional hit to the face/eye , but still added 17 points , four boards and four dimes in 35 minutes . Julius Randle turned in another double - double with 20 points and 10 rebounds , which helped the struggling back court for Los Angeles . Jordan Clarkson and D'Angelo Russell combined for 25 points on 10 - of - 30 shooting , as both guards shot selection was iffy at best . Neither team shot the three pointer effectively , but the Celtics were able to showcase strong ball movement and selfless basketball , which was reflected by their 30 assists as a unit . The Lakers will technically play a road game against the Los Angeles Clippers ( 48 - 28 ) on Tuesday , while the Celtics return home to host the New Orleans Pelicans ( 29 - 47 ) on Wednesday .
