The game started with news of Celtics acquiring Nate Robinson and Marcus Landry from the New York Knicks in exchange for Eddie House, J R Giddens, Bill Walker and a future conditional second round pick.
Champions were playing their fifth game without Kobe Bryant and they struggled in their perimeter game. On the other hand Boston shot very well. Allen was in rhythm from the start, making all his 4 field goals in the first quarter. He had game high 24 points.
Boston struggled when there was no Allen on court as his replacement Daniels was not a great shooter. They will miss House for this very reason.
Lakers came back to the game with a strong fourth quarter. With a 13-0 run they managed to take the lead. But they were not able to score in the dying seconds as they lost 87-86.
Rondo had 14 points, 11 assists and 5 steals and Perkins added 13 points and 14 rebounds. Pau Gasol led Lakers with 22 points. Odom had 13 points and 14 rebounds from bench. This was Lakers’ first loss without Kobe.
