Jake LaRavia said the Lakers' loss against the Celtics was because of fatigue

The LA Lakers' game against the Boston Celtics was tough to watch for the West Coast team. They didn't have LeBron James and Luka Doncic, leaving Austin Reaves to do most of the offensive work.

This resulted in a tough loss. Following the contest, Jake LaRavia pointed out that the team was tired, which was one of the reasons for the defeat.

“We were a little tired… late nights, not a lot of sleep… our job is to come out here on the court, and that starting group, me included, is supposed to come out with some pop,” LaRavia said.

Jake LaRavia struggled to score that night. He had six points on 33.3% shooting from the field. Fortunately for the Lakers, they bounced back after their star players returned to the lineup.
