Lakers vs Celtics ends in defeat for LeBron James and his side

But rather than sitting anxiously in traffic on the Mass Pike, LeBron James took a private helicopter, according to The Athletic's Jared Weiss. James' express mode of transportation worked: He arrived at the Garden on time and didn't miss the team's shootaround that morning, according to Lakers coach Frank Vogel. Sierra Canyon's game wasn't without an episode, either. Bronny was held scoreless in the team's loss to Paul VI and a fan was caught throwing a piece of candy at him, instigating and a furious reaction from LeBron James on Twitter. Things went bad to worse later for LeBron in the Lakers vs Celtics fixture, as his Lakers team lost to the Celtics comprehensively.
