LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Antho-ny Davis scored 27 points to fuel the Los Angeles Lakers, who ended their two-game NBA losing streak in dramatic style Sunday with a 96-95 victory over the Celtics in Boston.
A well-rested Davis, who sat out the Lakers’ loss to the Pistons in Detroit on |Friday with a bruised thigh, added 14 rebounds for the reigning NBA champions.
LeBron James finished with 21 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for the Lakers, who bounced back after defeats in Philadelphia and Detroit.
‘’We’re a team that takes pride in not losing two in a row and we lost two in a row,’’ Davis said. ‘’For damn sure we weren’t losing three in a row.’’
It was a close-run game, however.
Jayson Tatum scored 30 points and pulled down nine rebounds for the Celtics and Jaylen Brown added 28 points.
It was a one-point game when Boston’s Marcus Smart departed with 10:28 remaining after a fall that left him with what the Celtics said was a calf strain.
