BOSTON — As Nikita Zadorov walked through the Bruins dressing room to begin his postgame session with the media after Saturday’s win, the big defenseman smiled and said:

“Where’s my beer?”

He knew what was coming.

Between the third and fourth quarter of the Celtics’ win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night, the TD Garden scoreboard camera settled on Zadorov and Bruins teammate David Pastrnak sitting together in the front row.

With the camera on him, Zadorov grabbed his beer, which appeared to be a least half full, and drained it as the crowd roaded it’s approval.

Pastrnak watched and laughed, pointing at his teammate and smiling. When Zadorov was done he held his right arm up in triumph with his hand doing the three-finger sign language sign for “I love you.”
