Lakers take Game 1 of the 2010 NBA Finals over hated rival the Boston Celtics. We’ve got your recap and stats here. Follow this link to see the complete box score of the game: bit.ly The most important player in this game was Pau Gasol of the LA Lakers. Though Kobe Bryant finished with 7 more points than Gasol, the Spaniard’s dominance in the paint and with rebounds was the driving factor in the Lakers win. Gasol easily outplayed rival Kevin Garnett of the Celtics. For Boston to have a chance in this series, Garnett and the rest of the Celtics will have to work to limit Pau Gasol’s effectiveness, work harder to get rebounds and show much improved defense from Game 1. * Photo Credit: Description: Pau Gasol boxing-out for a rebound.
