The Boston Celtics emerged victorious in a highly anticipated showdown against the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night, snapping LA's eight-game winning streak and evening the season series. Leading the charge for Boston was Jayson Tatum, who delivered a dominant performance with 40 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists in the 114-105 victory.

LeBron James left the game with an injury as the Los Angeles Lakers’ eight-game win streak came to an end following a loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday.

Though Luka Dončić’s fourth-quarter explosion showed he is capable of keeping the Lakers in big games, LeBron James’ fourth-quarter groin injury will loom large after this loss, which snapped Los Angeles’ eight-game win streak. With 6:44 left in the game, James called for a timeout and eventually headed to the locker room with a left groin strain.
