Boston Celtics win NBA Championship
June 18, 2008
Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA Championships with a stunning win over LA Lakers. It was the also the biggest thrashing in a deciding game since 1968 when they beat LA Lakers by 33 points. Boston won the game 131-92 and won the series 4-2.
Boston stars outgun Lakers…
The likes of Kevin Garnett who got 26 points and 14 rebounds, Ray Allen who also got 26 points, Paul Pierce who got 17 points and 10 assists all had a night to remember, it was the first time in the finals they had all come together and played well. Lively Rajon Rondo got 21 points and had six steals and just added to Boston’s class. Kobe couldn’t handle it and although he had a good start he could not maintain the standards that the Celtics were doing.
Afterwards Paul Pierce said…
“This means everything. I’m not living under the shadows of the other greats now. I’m able to make my own history with my time here. This is something that I wanted to do, if I was going to be one of the best Celtics to ever play I had to put up a banner and today we did that. To work so hard, and for ten long years with the Boston Celtics, going through my ups and downs, this is what makes those other moments so sweet. Knowing that you were at rock bottom a year ago today and to climb all the way to the top. This is a dream come true.”
Lakers will have to rebuild for next season and their star man Kobe Bryant believes they can, he said…
“We’re fine. What we have to do is continue to work and the key is understanding this isn’t guaranteed to anybody. There’s people who have got here before and never got back so it’s important for us to understand that, to work hard and come back next year ready to go.
