The Boston Celtics safe face at home, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers 96-89. Celtics Bench is the key for the victory.
Big Baby boom – Glen Davis 18 points and 5 rebounds in 22 minutes; Nate Rob gets 12 points in 17 minutes with a aggressive and passionate basketball, way bigger than his 5-9″ frame. In total, Boston Celtics bench scores 46 points of the team 96, versus Lakers bench’s 18 points.
Paul Pierce is the team leader in scoring, 19 points – along with 6 rebounds and 5 assists and bad 5 turnovers. Meanwhile, Ray Allen can almost redeem himself, but still lacking the flair he had – he only shoots 4-11 from the field for 12 points in 41 minutes; um, right…
As for the Lakers, Kobe’s 33 points and Pau’s 21 points can help much, as the team struggles in rebounding the ball, getting 34 boards versus Celtics’ 41 boards. They are a better team on 3PT line, connecting 7-20 from downtown, thanks to Kobe Bryant’s 6-11 3PT shooting.
Lakers game seems lost in the 4th quarter, lacking the hustle to win the ball. They seems a bit tired of all the banging and shoveling. I missed Shaq on Lakers uniform…
Despite all the game stopping Refs’ calls, 2010 NBA Finals is darn hot!
