Walton on Celtics showtime at Staples Center: A little bit of anger, a little bit of frustration

Walton did not like his team performance against the Celtics

NBA
Lakers coach Luke Walton did not enjoy Celtics showtime at the Staples Center against his team.

Per ESPN’s Baxter Holmes, Lakers coach Luke Walton on what he felt watching Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas throw an off-the-backboard alley-oop pass to Jaylen Brown during the Celtics' blowout win: "A little bit of anger, a little bit of frustration, because this team is showboating on our home court because of, in my opinion, you give up those type of transition buckets if we're not giving effort to get back, which is the reason why I pulled the starters in the third quarter. They stopped passing and they stopped getting back on defense. That's not how we're going to play. That's not why the fans fill this arena to watch. Obviously, it's not enjoyable to watch teams showboating on your home court, but if I'm them, why not? If we're not running back on defense, rub it in our face. Hopefully, it pisses the players off and the next time it happens, we'll use energy to get down there to contest it."
