The Los Angeles Lakers were finally defeated tonight, ending their 8-game winning streak. But it took the reigning champions, the Boston Celtics, to bring down Luka Doncic and company. However, some moments during tonight’s game led to a lot of raised eyebrows within the Lakers’ fanbase. Moments that have led to them labeling the Celtics as “one of the dirtiest teams in the NBA.
The Celtics played an insanely physical game tonight if you can call it that. And the officials seemed to be turning a blind eye to most instances. But one of the scariest moments came during an Al Horford dunk. Al hung onto the ring after scoring and proceeded to knee Luka Doncic square in the face.
This happened right in front of the official! This move by Al in the first quarter was akin to something you’d see in a WWE ring. Luka immediately went down, grabbing his nose and face in extreme agony. It looked painful to us, too, Luka!
