The Lakers weremiserable for almost the entire game. The Celtics outshot them 41% to 33% fromthe field, 38% to 20% from 3 point range, and outshot them from the free throwline 88% to 68%. There is no way the Lakers should have won this game. Sure theLakers were +13 in rebounding and +3 in turnovers, but how is that enough toovercome such awful shooting?
I'll tell you how you overcome it, you shoot 21 free throws in the 4th quarterto 6 for the Celtics. Both teams were scraping and diving and being physical.Garnett throws down a dunk and gets bumped by Gasol on the way down, no call.Kobe barely gets touched by Allen and he gets 3 free throws. The Lakers werebrutal at the free throw line tonight (12 misses) but still eeked out a 4 pointwin through # of attempts.
