Kobe on the other hand couldn’t make the Lakers win with all by himself 38 big points.  Only him and Pau Gasol with only 12 points were in double figures.

Kobe Bryant on the other hand had a great game still, with his 33 points including mercy shots in the regulation.  Pau Gasol also inked 21 points.  But the Celtics team did a very good job on defense especially against Bryant.

Lamar Odom had eight points and the Lakers seized control late in the first quarter, helped by some awful Boston shooting. The Celtics went without a field goal for nearly 6 minutes spanning the quarters as Los Angeles built a 17-point lead.

Kevin Garnett scored 25 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds for the Celtics, but Ray Allen is limited to only two points and Paul Pierce were off to miserable starts but finished with 15 points.

Allen, who scored 32 points and made an NBA finals-record eight 3-pointers in Boston's Game 2 victory, missed all five shots and was scoreless. Pierce was 1 of 8 for five points and had three fouls.

It was a quick turnaround for the teams after the long flight from Los Angeles following the Celtics' 103-94 victory Sunday. Lakers coach Phil Jackson put his team through a long shootaround Tuesday afternoon, and it appeared to be paying off.

Game 4 is Thursday night.

NBA FINALS 2010 Lakers vs Celtics | Lakers Take Game 1

 

Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol combine for 53 points to help Lakers drop Celtics in Game 1 of Finals.  Bryant exploded with 30 points and 7 rebounds to lift LA Lakers and take Game one of the Best of Seven Championship Series against Boston Celtics.  Pau Gasol made an outstanding night with 23 points and 14 rebounds.  Ron Artest and Andrew Bynum added 15 and 10 points respectively.

The 12th finals meeting between the NBA's most entertaining rivals opened with a chippy, rough-edged first half featuring 28 fouls and 27 free throws.

Both teams seemed determined to get a physical edge early in the series, starting just 27 seconds in when Ron Artest and Paul Pierce got double technical fouls after tumbling to the court with elbows locked.

Bryant picked up two early fouls, but still led four Lakers starters who scored at least seven points.

Rajon Rondo led the Celtics with 10 points, and Pierce added nine. Rondo's latest productive offensive game included four assists and helped cover up for combined 5-for-14 shooting by Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, who picked up three fouls.

Boston and Los Angeles are meeting in the finals for the second time in three years, following the Celtics' six-game victory over the Lakers in 2008. If the first 24 minutes of the rematch are any indication, the series will be a knockdown, drag-out physical confrontation - and the supposedly finesse-oriented Lakers held their ground early.

Artest's defensive showdown with Pierce, the 2008 finals MVP against his hometown team, got heated in the opening minute. Jostling for rebounding position, Artest and Pierce locked elbows while back-to-back and rolled to the court together.

After they got up aggressively, the officiating crew called double technical fouls. The collision set the tone for the first quarter, which featured 18 personal fouls and 20 free throws, 12 by Boston.

On the other hand, Paul Pierce inked 24 points and 9 rebounds but not sufficient to steal game one of the series.  Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen contributed 16 and 12 points respectively.  The superstar point guard Rajon Rondo added 13 points and lead the game with 8 assists.
