Game Preview
After a determined rally and a tight overtime defeat against the best team in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers have reasons to feel optimistic about the season ahead.
Although the Lakers themselves aren’t trying to parse out the positives from a 122-118 home defeat against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday.
Instead, Los Angeles will go into a meeting Friday at home against the Denver Nuggets with a resolve to fix what went wrong after a game that was characterized as a disappointment more than anything.
