By pure chance, the Lakers and Celtics met this time with each having won exactly 3,252 games. The Lakers lost to the Celtics, 113-107, making it the first time since the 2000-01 season that the Lakers did not lead the NBA in all-time wins. The Lakers won 27 games that year, as Kobe Bryant missed most of the season recovering from a torn Achilles’ tendon. The next three seasons gave the Celtics time to catch up to the Lakers’ all-time lead in wins. The Lakers won 55 games since the start of the 2014-15 season while the Celtics won 119.
