The Lakers played great defense last night holding the Celtics to 34.9% shooting from the floor and that’s why they won. Kobe Bryant was outstanding in leading the way for the Lakers with 36 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals. Sasha Vujacic was solid off the bench with 20 points and 4 rebounds in 28 minutes. Pau Gasol was only 3 of 9 shooting from the floor but he still finished with 9 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists. This win cut the Celtics lead to 2-1 in this series.
