Celtics, 54-42 (half)

Posted by Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff June 8, 2008 10:15 PM

What a finish to the first half for the Celtics.

Kevin Garnett found Rajon Rondo for a fast-break dunk with under a minute to go to send the crowd into a frenzy. The Celtics outscored the Lakers, 34-20, in the period.

Los Angeles is shooting 46 percent, but 10 turnovers have killed them. The Celtics are shooting 52 percent.

The biggest difference in the game? The Lakers have attempted only two free throws, while the Celtics have attempted 19.

Seemingly unfazed by his injury, Paul Pierce has 16 points for Boston. Ray Allen has nine, and Garnett and Leon Powe each have eight.

More bad news for the Lakers? Kobe Bryant has three fouls.
