Against Celtics, however, it was not just about offense; defense played a pivotal role too. The Lakers managed to limit Celtics to just 96 points while scoring 117 themselves. This defensive solidity coupled with an offensive rating that outshone their opponent's highlighted how well-rounded this team has become.
