Derek Fisher was invited on-air by TNT to help call the Boston Celtics-Los Angeles Lakers game as a part of the Players Only broadcast segment.
Kyrie Irving is fitting in great after moving from Cleveland to Boston in the offseason. Irving can score from all over the court, working his way through the paint.

The Lakers have a lot to prove, playing with a very young lineup. Rookie Kyle Kuzma out of Utah has been making a statement around the league. Kuzma hits an early 3-pointer before finishing the night with a monster 17-point 4th quarter.

Can’t stop strength in the paint. Watch Julius Randle muscle his way up for a strong layup.
