The Celtics looked precisely like a team on the second night of a back-to-back on Thursday, falling in a 117-96 blowout to the Lakers.

LeBron James has heard it all throughout his career, which is why he didn't want to overreact to the Lakers' blowout win over the Celtics.

It's unclear whether the team was dealing with the aftereffects of the Clippers game, or simply regressing back to bad habits that have plagued it over the past month, but the Celtics did not put up much of a fight against the Lakers.
