Whenever the Boston Celtics end up playing the Los Angeles Lakers, you can bet that the level of play will be high — even if it is a relatively meaningless exhibition contest in the NBA’s 2023 Las Vegas Summer League. That was the case late on Wednesday night as the Sin City Celtics dispatched the Summer Lakers 95-90 with a dramatic late dunk from the Celtics’ No. 38 pick of the 2023 NBA draft, Jordan Walsh.
The comeback win was a surprising one given that the Lakers were in control for the first two-thirds of the tilt as the Celtics shot just 25.8% from deep and just 41.2% overall. But L.A. shot worse from the field (38.7%), and Boston won the rebounding battle 52-39, securing the win on a Walsh flush in the game’s waning seconds.
To see the tilt in full for the first time or again, check out the clip embedded below via the NBA’s official YouTube channel.
