The Los Angeles Lakers saw their eight-game winning streak come to an end in Boston on Saturday night as they lost to the defending champion Celtics, 111-101. The bigger news centered around LeBron James, who suffered a groin injury in the game and could miss the next couple of weeks.

Luka Doncic had a huge game for the Lakers, scoring 34 points in the loss. He also took one of the biggest hits in the game when Al Horford hit him in the face with his knee after throwing down a big dunk in the first quarter.

Check this out:

Doncic was able to shake that off but it ended up being a painful night for the Lakers, who had been playing the best basketball in the NBA over the past few weeks.
