Lakers, 43-37 (half)

Posted by Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff June 10, 2008 10:18 PM

It’s never good when Sasha Vujacic has three times as many points as your two perennial All-Stars.

Vujacic had a huge half off the bench for the Lakers, scoring 12 points. Meanwhile, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce combined to go 2 of 16 for Boston.

The Celtics look completely inept on offense. They’re shooting 32 percent for the game. Ray Allen (12 points) is the only Celtic who looks like he has an idea of how to attack the Laker defense.

Kobe Bryant is being Kobe Bryant. He’s got 19. The Lakers have been to the line 22 times, compared to just 7 times for the Celtics.

With all that being said, the Celtics are only down 6. Remarkable.

  • Eddie House made an appearance with 6.3 seconds left in the quarter. With the offense so stagnant, we may see more House in the second half.
