Boston Celtics Vs. L.A. Lakers live stream: Watch online, Start Time

Here’s how to watch the Boston Celtics play the Los Angeles Lakers at L.A.’s Staples Center online via live stream or on TV at 3 p.m. ET.

The legendary, classic rivalry continues as the Boston Celtics take on the Los Angeles Lakers on ABC this Sunday, February 23 at 3:30 p.m ET / 12:30 p.m PT. You can watch a live stream online at ABC.com. Gordon Hayward was delighted to hear about the game’s relatively early start time at 12:30 p.m. in the west coast, commenting, “Oh I love it.” Before reflecting that the rest of the team probably doesn’t feel the same way because they don’t have kids yet.

When told that Sunday’s tip-off is scheduled for 12:30 pm in LA, Gordon Hayward smiles and says, “Oh I love it.” Then added he’s probably in the minority on the team with that hot take. “That’s what kids will do to you.”

Recap of last Celtics/Lakers game:

The Celtics defeated the Lakers at TD Bank arena in Boston 139-107 last go-around on January 20th, one of the Lakers’ largest losses of the season. Lakers franchise superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis definitely haven’t forgotten and will be amped to get the W. Jason Tatum was the high scorer that game with 27 points on 10 of 18 shooting (including 5-8 in the 3pt column). The Lakers currently sit at the top of the Western Conference as the #1 seed while the Celtics are the #3 seed in the East.

At the moment, the Lakers are on a 4-game winning streak while the Celtics are on a 2-game winning streak.
