Kobe had 15 and 11, Lakers win in Boston
The Lakers won 112 to 104 in Boston so maybe it helped.

It was both nauseating and nice. But then the boos emerged as soon as Bryant played. “It’s quite a compliment”, Bryant said. “The Celtics fans are very knowledgeable about the game, and I think they’ll show their appreciation as well”. From the signing of the songs, the shaking of the bus going back to the hotel, that stuff really stuck with me.
As long as I’ve been watching basketball, the Lakers have been the Empire and Kobe their Darth Vader, something inescapably evil to orient against. This team has talented players, and Russell is without a doubt one of them.
That’s classic Bryant, isn’t it? Coming in as an active four who could battle with bigger players and spread the floor, he allowed Garnett to move to the five where he could feast on slower-footed centers. So this raises the question: Is there still a Celtics-Lakers rivalry?
In a distant universe, the Lakers could also test out a rotation that lets Bryant come off the bench, but that isn’t practical when you throw in annoying factors like “context” and “reality”.
“It doesn’t bother me when the other team has a crowd on our home court”, said Crowder. “Their roster was a mixture of young players, veteran players, nasty, tough players”.
If not for Turner, the Celtics would never have made this a contest.
“I can play whatever, man. You can put me at point guard”. “I don’t want to spend all my time talking about him because we have prepare to try and beat these guys. There was a lot of pressure not to let that happen”.
The Celtics may lead the Lakers in championships (17 to 16) and head-to-head series matchups in the Finals (9-3), but score an all-time victory for Los Angeles with this one.
“It’s right up there with Philadelphia in terms of most emotional”, Bryant said afterward about where Boston ranked among road venues. He said his teammates were all sitting there, thinking “this can’t be happening again” when he started laughing.
Said Bryant: “I’ll take a 1-1 draw”.
“The loss led to the win”.
“I grew up a really big historian of the game and understanding Boston’s history, the players, many different players, championships won, and so this place is always special to me”, Bryant said of his final visit to the hub as a player. It’s fine. You’ve just got to bounce back’. The rivalry received a jump start, and Bryant credits the resurrection of the Celtics for his personal resurrection following O’Neal’s departure.
Many reporters, columnists, and bloggers have given you their take on Kobe Bryant’s retirement. “I can’t stress that enough”. The future Hall of Famer has been bothered by knee pain of late but did manage 20 points in the loss to the Hornets, the fourth in a row for Los Angeles. And then just experience the green.
