The Boston Celtics won the draft lottery, but the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers still had some reason to celebrate Tuesday night.
Magic Johnson's Lakers, who could've lost their pick had it fallen outside the top three, moved up to No. 2, while the Sixers landed the No. 3 pick thanks to owning swap rights with the Sacramento Kings.
The reactions of Johnson and Joel Embiid upon learning that their respective teams hand landed in the top three were predictably priceless, and very on-brand.
