Summary

Lakers vs. Celtics, the inaugural entry of EA’s NBA Live line, drops you straight into the 1989‑90 season with the freedom to pick either the Lakers or the Celtics as your squad. From the opening tip‑off you feel the weight of the championship chase, and every win nudges you closer to that ultimate title. The game’s controls let you call plays, manage the clock, and even dictate the pace, making it feel like you’re really behind the bench. It’s a nostalgic slice of basketball history that still rewards strategic thinking, especially when you’re trying to out‑maneuver the rival franchise on the court.
