Great game! With the Lakers down by only six, Kobe shoots them out of the game, taking bad shot after bad shot down the stretch. For the game, the Celtics dished out 34 assists and the Lakers had only 10. Kobe? Zero.

The result was that Boston shot 60% from the field and won going away on the Lakers' home court.

Dude are you serious? Kobe got them back INTO the game. I know you don't like Kobe but look at this realistically. Without him they lose this game by 25+. He had to attempt to take the game over. And the Lakers big got fed quite enough. Gasol, suppose to be LA's best big man, went 5-13 from the field, had 12 points, and two turnovers. The Celtics bigs dominated the paint, they wanted it more, and Kobe had to take more shots than he would have liked too. He still shot a great FG% going 16-29 from the field (55%).
