The Los Angeles Lakers face off against the bitter rival Boston Celtics on Friday with the majority of the squad injured. Along with Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Steve Blake, Jordan Farmar and Xavier Henry being injured, Nick Young will not play tonight due to a suspension.
First Quarter
Manny Harris in the game for #Lakers for the first time. Lakers lead 11-10

JODIE MEEKS BE LIKE PENETRATING.

Great cut from Jodie and a nice pass from Gasol to hit Meeks for the layup. That was, shockingly, a well orchestrated and executed set.

2nd Quarter
The first bucket for Manny Harris comes off a nice move in transition, with a lefty finish. LAL down 31-28, however, after another T.O.

Lakers winning against a team that has a real chance to get a higher lottery pick (by losing)

It makes sense Ryan Kelly can dunk (he’s 6’ 11”), but it was still weird seeing it.

3rd Quarter
After doing the @TWCSportsNet halftime hit about LAL trying to clean up TO's, they come out w/an immediate T.O. (No. 10) to start the 3rd.

Ryan Kelly tonight has been all over: 8 points, 3 rebounds. Started second half. He and Manny Harris only Lakers not to start a game.

You can tell Ryan Kelly is more involved tonight purely by the way he’s playing. He’s pumped up and into the action. Good to see.

Wesley Johnson's up to a career-high 10 boards in his 26 minutes, the Lakers within 1 as Kelly's added eight points in 19 minutes.

4th Quarter
Marshall, Meeks, Harris, Kelly & Sacre are on the floor to begin the final quarter.
— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) January 18, 2014
— Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) January 18, 2014
Kendall Marshall has a nice 16-point, 11-assists double-double, but he also has 7 of LAL's 16 TO's, resulting in 25 Boston points.
— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) January 18, 2014
The jump ball is tapped out of bounds and they’ll review it to see who it goes off of. It’s initially Laker ball, but looks to be Boston’s.
— Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) January 18, 2014
Lakers win it 107-104 to snap their 6-game losing streak. Pau (24 pts, 13 reb), Marshall (19 pts, 14 ast) and Ryan Kelly (20 pts) led LAL
