League Celtics took their record to 3-1 in Las Vegas with a 87-78 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday, July 17. Baylor Scheierman's struggles from the field continued, as he went 2-of-14 for a field goal percentage of 14.

The Celtics (4-1) had 24 assists on their 37 field goals, with Isaiah Wong leading the way with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting and six assists. The 24-year-old got into 20 games last season with the Hornets and averaged 6.0 points in 13 minutes.

The Celtics stayed in control for the entire second half, pushing their lead up to double digits for the entire fourth quarter on their way to the comfortable win. The victory improves Boston to 3-1 in Las Vegas with one game looming in the consolation round this weekend.

Nevertheless, Boston is expected to continue wheeling and dealing throughout the summer. Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang, two players the Celtics acquired via trades this summer, could be re-routed before the start of the season.

Following his ejection, the forward apologized to Celtics GM Brad Stevens for getting tossed. Joe Mazzulla loves that kind of fire, and he made sure that Walsh knew that. Still, he understands that he can't be getting tossed from games. That hurts his team when he's not out there.
