Lakers Throat Punched by Celtics

This game reminded me so much on how Game 6 of the 08 finals went down when we were thrashed by 39 points. The Lakers' 4 game winning streak at the garden and on the road trip this season came to an end after heading towards a brick wall in their arch-enemy Celtics. Looks like it's the end of the assists tenure for Kobe Bryant, as he took it upon himself to lead the Lakers with 27 points, 7 rebounds, and a whopping 0 assists (who knows). However, the Celtics met the Lakers with an offense barrage as they beat the Lakers 95-115 as they are 5-0 since Rondo went down with a torn ACL. Although Antawn Jamison and Jodie Meeks got their double digit points in garbage time, they were the only ones who joined Kobe in double figures as they both lead the bench with 11 points by Jamison and 13 points by Meeks. Hoping to forget this loss, the Lakers will try to bounce back as they head to Charlotte to face the Bobcats. Although the Bobcats are a mediocre team, they somehow have the Lakers' number in Charlotte.

Final Score: @ Boston 95-116 [L]
