Celtics Vs Lakers results, highlights: Top 5 player performances for March 9 game

Irving left the Cleveland Cavs several seasons ago by demanding a trade. Now that he's on the Celtics, he's got a chance to lead them to a great finish in the East. Saturday's performance included 30 points, seven assists, five rebounds, and two steals.

Irving was the showman on Saturday night but his supporting cast also pitched in. That included Marcus Morris as his brother Markief was watching from the crowd. Morris tallied 16 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in the Celtics' win.

Marcus Smart got on fire during the Celtics' win on Saturday. The Celtics guard finished with 6-for-8 shooting including a 4-for-6 rate from downtown. Smart had 16 points, five assists, two rebounds, and two steals in the win.

It's been a struggle for the team, but LeBron continues to shine even in the losses. After passing MJ on the scoring list in the previous game, LeBron finished with a triple-double on Saturday. He tallied 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists.

With Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, and Brandon Ingram all sidelined, LeBron didn't have a ton of help. Mo Wagner stepped up, though, and had 22 points, six rebounds, and three assists.
