Shorthanded Lakers surprise Celtics

LOS ANGELES: A Los Angeles Lakers team missing superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis barreled past the NBA-leading Boston Celtics 114-105 on Thursday (Friday in Manila) as the New York Knicks pushed their winning streak to nine games with a gutsy win over Indiana.

Austin Reaves scored a season-high 32 points to lead six Los Angeles players in double figures, saying afterward he and the rest of the Lakers had taken to heart James' blunt demand after Tuesday's loss to Atlanta that his teammates 'just go out and do your job.'
