Celtics Win

Tuesday night, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett all celebrated as they defeat the Lakers 131-92. The game started off as usaul with Kobe Bryant knocking down three's. He hit three threes in the the first quarter telling the Celtics "not tonight", but the Celtics took this as a challenge, and made Kobe eat his words. Ray Allen got injured in the first quarter as he attacked the rim and got poked in the eye and got a cut above his nose from Lamar Odom. He ends up coming out of the game for about 15 minutes in order to come back to a big Celtic lead. James Posey, Eddie House, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett go on a run knocking down three's and hitting jumper after jumper. The Lakers had no answer for the big three, but not only was the big three on fire, but Rajon Rondo came up big on defense and got 6 steals throughout the game, and the Celtics bench played just as hard and aggresive as the Starters.
