Kobe Bryant scored 30 points to lead Lakers past the Celtics in a convincing Game 1 triumph and now lead the series 1-0. Pau Gasol contributed heavily with 23 points and 14 rebounds on 8-14 shooting. Pau shrugged off the "SOFT" label by dominating the paint and the defenses of Garnett and Perkins. Pierce led the Celtics with 24 points on 6-13 shooting night. Ray Allen was in foul trouble most of the game.
Kobe was his usual self, hitting jumpers and floaters. He was able to dissect the Celtics' defense. Pau was pretty effective inside with his post moves. Artest contributed as well together with his defense on Pierce.
Frustration was evident from the Celtics players. Their big men were outplayed by Gasol and Bynum. Garnett was missing some point blank shots and Perkins had little to contribute with only 8 points and 3 rebounds.
We expect the Celtics to make some adjustments in Game 2. For them to win, Rajon Rondo must be aggressive and should take over the game with his speed and play making ability.The Celtic must tighten their interior defense for them to have a chance in this series.
Game 2 will be on MOnday at 9 am.
