2010 NBA Finals – Lakers Highlights vs Boston Celtics Game 1 [Kobe 30 Points]

All content is the property of the NBA and its respective entities. Lakers defense shines in Finals-opening win over Celtics. The talk coming into the game circled around how the Celtics defense may rival that of the 2008 championship team. On Thursday, the Lakers showed their rendition of defense. They took charges. They caused deflections. They altered and rejected shots inside. In short, they frustrated Boston. That defense coupled with a late third quarter spurt helped the defending champs deliver an emphatic blow to the Celtics, winning 102-89 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals at Staples Center. “I think people forget how good we are defensively,” Lakers forward Lamar Odom said. No one is forgetting how dominating Phil Jackson’s teams are after winning Game 1 in a series. His haven’t lost, a perfect 47-0. And a reminder of the goal was apparent in the Lakers’ locker room after the game. Scribbled in black on a white board directly across Kobe Bryant’s locker was the phrase “3 Mo.” “We’re counting down,” said Odom, whose team is now 9-0 at home in the postseason with Game 2 on Sunday. Leading the way for the Lakers in the series opener was Bryant, who had a game-high 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists. He has now scored 30-plus in 10 of his last 11 contests. Pau Gasol had a terrific all-around game with 23 points, 14 rebounds and three blocks. Ron Artest chipped in 15. The dominating fashion in which the Lakers, who led by as many as 20 points, took the series opener …

It was a close 4th quarter but Celtics were able to pull away with a 92-86 win. The Celtics are up 3-2. Next game at Staples… Box Score sports.yahoo.com

Lakers – Celtics – Game 5 – NBA Finals 2010

Paul Pierce scored 15 points, Rajon Rondo added 10, and the Boston Celtics took a 45-39 lead over the Los Angeles Lakers into halftime of Game 5 of the NBA finals on Sunday night. Kevin Garnett made all three shots and had eight points and seven rebounds as Boston had two of its Big Three playing well at the same time for one of the few occasions in the series. Pierce made 7-of-10 shots. The Celtics were trying to take a 3-2 lead and move a win away from increasing their NBA-best total to 18 championships. They shot 66 percent and led at halftime for the first time since Game 2. Kobe Bryant scored 10 points on just 4-of-12 shooting for the Lakers, who shot just 33 percent. Andrew Bynum played 18 minutes and had six points, three nights after his sore right knee forced him to leave Game 4 after only 12 minutes. He and Derek Fisher (nine points) helped Los Angeles end a slow start. A message on the overhead video board before the Celtics’ starting lineups were introduced read: “The final stand at the Garden.” They made it a good one in the first half. The Lakers missed their first six shots as Boston jumped ahead 6-0, but Bynum and Fisher combined for the first 15 Los Angeles points for a 15-14 lead when Fisher hit three free throws with 4:58 remaining in the first quarter. Pierce hit jumpers for the Celtics’ final two baskets of the period, sending them to the second with a 22-20 lead. Bryant was only 1 for 4, shooting an airball and missing badly on another jumper.

2010 NBA Finals – Los Angeles Lakers vs Boston Celtics Highlights Game 6 [Force 7, Kobe 26 Points]

All content is the property of the NBA and its respective entities. Lakers race to 51-31 lead at halftime of Game 6 Lakers clobber Celtics, setting up decisive Game 7 Rajon Rondo was cut on the chin compliments of a Ron Artest elbow. Kendrick Perkins had to be helped off the court thanks to a Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant sandwich. Paul Pierce wound up on his back time and time again in large part because of the Lakers’ swarming defense. It was that type of game for the Celtics. In what was a must-win to keep their hopes of a repeat alive, the Lakers answered emphatically, blowing out the Celtics, 89-67, in Game 6 of the NBA Finals Tuesday at Staples Center. Tied 3-3, the season now culminates in a winner-take-all Game 7 Thursday. “It’s a really high-tension situation,” said Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who will be coaching in his first Game 7 in the NBA Finals. No sweat for Bryant, who holds a 3-1 record in Game 7’s: “I know what’s at stake, but I’m not tripping.” Added Paul Pierce on how he feels heading into the game: “Very confident. “We know we have to come out a lot harder in Game 7. I promise you when I stand here on Thursday, we won’t be talking about energy.” If history has any say in the outcome, the Celtics have the edge. They are 4-0 all-time in Game 7’s against the Lakers, who hope to become just the seventh team in NBA history to come from behind to win a championship after facing a 3-2 deficit. While the Lakers were given new life, the Celtics see Tuesday’s game …
