LAS VEGAS, Nevada, USA – Despite efforts to stay undefeated in the 2023 Las Vegas Summer League, the Los Angeles Lakers lost in its bid while taking on the rival Boston Celtics on Wednesday night, July 12, 2023.

Unfortunately for the Lakers, despite good offensive play, the Celtics came out on top with a 95-90 victory to put L.A.’s championship hopes to rest.

However, at the start of the game, the hopes were high for the Lakers when young starts of Max Christie, Jalen Hood-Schifino, VI’s D’Moi M. Hodge, Cole Swider, and Colin Castleton came out firing.

Hodge scores 22 points 

VI’s D’Moi Hodge, who caught fire from beyond the arc and managed to knock down six of his 13 3-point attempts and shoot 8-of-16 overall from the field, ended the game with 22 points.

Since entering the league, VI’s Hodge has been a consistent source of offense for the Lakers, though his hot shooting night wasn’t enough to get the team out of their second-half woes.

Hodge, an undrafted guard out of the University of Missouri, is currently on a two-way contract with the Lakers organisation.

    This guy is going to make it. He is showing up plenty of those who were drafted.

    They would have won, and he would have scored more as well as others, but the point guards were playing too selfish. I wish all of them the best.

    He will continue to be great and do great. He may be a bit disappointed but you shall rise. Congratulations with improvement on your scoring each game.

    Wishing you all the best and with much prayer for you also.

    Psshh, i could score more than that if I was he and playing against both Lebron and MJ on the opposing team. My parna Craig and Travis can attest. Only reason I like he is cause I am a Le “Goat” James minion, and want the Lakers to win. You know how that will look for D’moi to get a ring in his rookie year and have the BVI follow my team?!?

    D'moi and his team played great.
    Don't expect them to win every game.
    They are only humans. Even Lebron who is one of the greatest doesn't win every time.
