Kyrie Irving took full advantage of the Lakers being down three starters, leading the Celtics to a convincing win over their rivals.
Marcus Morris had 16 points and seven rebounds, and Gordon Hayward added 15 points as the Celtics continued to gather momentum for the post-season with their third consecutive win on a four-game California trip that concludes Monday against the Clippers.
James had 30 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds in his seventh triple-double for the Lakers, who have lost five straight in a playoff chase that looks futile at this point. Kuzma also wasn’t ready to return from the sprained ankle that sidelined him for a second straight game, and Ball is likely to be shut down for the rest of the season soon with a sprained ankle that hasn’t improved enough since he was injured Jan. 19. Ball has missed big chunks of his first two NBA seasons due to injuries.
Rookie Moe Wagner scored a career-high 22 points in his first start for Los Angeles, which has lost nine of 11 overall.
