The Boston Celtics ran over the Los Angeles Lakers as they won at home. Despite the return of LeBron James, the Lakers suffered their second loss on the road trip and downgrade to 8-9 for the season. Dennis Schroder put on a show against his former team and let them know towards the end of the game. Although he received a technical foul, the fans loved it.

Jayson Tatum came up big once again and had his second 30+ point game in the row. He was on fire all night and led everyone in scoring. All the Celtic starters except Grant Williams scored over 15 points in the blowout win.

For the purple and gold, they let the game go in the second half yet again after having a lead of 14 points at one point. They seriously need to go back to the drawing board and resolve their issues.

However, Schroder had a fairytale game against his former side and even took time to talk to the bench.

Dennis Schroder makes the Lakers pay

The Boston Celtics marched to a 130-108 win because of an all-round performance. However, for Schroder, it was all the sweeter given the slander he had received in the off-season. As the teams came out of a timeout, Schroder took his opportunity to talk trash to the Laker bench. His actions resulted in him getting a technical foul, but he had made his point.
