Thursday night witnessed a stunning triumph for Christian Wood and the Los Angeles Lakers as they secured their most remarkable win of the season against the Boston Celtics on the road.
What made this victory truly extraordinary was not just that the Celtics boasted the best record in the NBA at the time but also that Wood and his teammates stepped up in the absence of both LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Following the game, Wood expressed his reaction on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, with a concise response to the remarkable victory.
It’s worth noting that Wood recently made headlines for a different social media post. He had simply tweeted “Lol” around the time when the Lakers’ starting lineup was announced for their previous game against the Atlanta Hawks, with Wood notably absent from it.
Wood later explained that he had inadvertently posted the context-less tweet while attempting to quote another post, as reported by Silver Screen and Roll.
This tweet understandably stirred some controversy, especially considering the Lakers had a disappointing performance in that game against the Hawks.
However, it appears that any potential dispute between Wood and head coach Darvin Ham has now been resolved, as the Lakers have managed to even their record as the season approaches its All-Star break in just two weeks.
Next on the Lakers’ schedule is a game at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan against the hottest team in the NBA, the New York Knicks, on Saturday evening at 8:30 PM ET.
