Celtics’ streak at 19 ahead of Lakers showdown
The Boston Celtics will roll right into the rematch.
And despite their 19-game winning streak and the Christmas Day spotlight, the Celtics say it will be business as usual when they face the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time since the NBA finals.
'I totally appreciate the whole history of the Lakers and Celtics and the tradition, the players who've come through both teams, the foundations of this league,' Kevin Garnett said. 'But to put all the eggs in one basket on one game, or that we circle it ... we circle all the games, and if you're on the schedule we don't decline any shows.'
