Will the Celtics Conquer the Crypto.com Arena on Christmas Day?

As the Boston Celtics gear up for their Christmas Day showdown at the Crypto.com Arena against the Los Angeles Lakers, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its impressive run. The Celtics have been on a tear recently, with a commanding 22-6 record that speaks volumes about their dominance on the court.
