Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 5, 2025

Austin Reaves erupted for 36 points and 8 assists to lead a furious Lakers offensive effort, but Boston's balanced attack proved too much in a 126–105 road loss that pushed the combined total to 231 points and handed DAGGER an UNDER miss. The pregame call had wagered on restraint at 227.5, only to watch the game unfold as a moderate over that closed the book 3.5 points higher.

The third quarter proved decisive. After the teams combined for 56 and 59 points in the first two quarters—a balanced opening half at 115 combined—Boston and Los Angeles suddenly found rhythm together in Q3, posting 64 combined points and stretching the Celtics' lead. Boston's fourth-quarter defense then tightened, holding the Lakers to just 23 points while the home team added 29 for a final quarter total of 52. Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 30 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Derrick White contributed 19 points and 6 assists. Despite Gabe Vincent chipping in 18 points off the bench for Los Angeles and Rui Hachimura adding 13 points and 7 rebounds, the Lakers could never close the gap. Boston's recent form—averaging 122.6 points for and 112.0 against over its last ten games—translated to a dominant home performance that proved too steep a climb for a visiting Lakers squad carrying similar offensive credentials.
