The Los Angeles Lakers are gearing up for their next clash against the Boston Celtics, a team Luka Doncic previously faced while playing for the Mavericks. This matchup will bring back memories of a not-so-pleasant final for the young Slovenian star.
The new battle between the Celtics and Lakers will take place at the Garden. But now, the scenario is completely different. Doncic is now part of the best team in the NBA, which is on a spectacular streak this season, having won eight consecutive games. This is the 26-year-old shooting guard’s chance for revenge.
An epic showdown for the NBA
The Lakers-Celtics rivalry has taken on a new dimension at this moment. Fans of both teams are eager to see what happens. Back when Doncic was with the Mavericks, he lost the final against Boston.

Doncic’s arrival in L.A. left the Mavericks at a disadvantage, and they have been receiving heavy criticism from analysts and fans for their recent decisions. Moreover, his addition has made the Lakers one of the league’s top favorites. In fact, since January 15, they have been in the best position of the season.
The reinforcement of the duo between LeBron James and Luka Doncic has fulfilled the team’s management’s goal. The Lakers secured the top spot of the season and are aiming for more. However, this time, the spotlight won’t be solely on the King—Doncic will return to the same stage where he once faced the Celtics, but under very different circumstances.
Now, he arrives as part of one of Boston’s eternal rivals, as the Lakers-Celtics rivalry is one of the most historic in NBA history. This makes it an electrifying matchup for basketball fans. It will be an epic moment in the history of professional men’s basketball in the United States.
