The Los Angeles Lakers have a way of making the Boston Celtics feeling empty as of late. Last year in the NBA Finals, the Lakers beat the Celtics to win another NBA championship. On Thursday, the Lakers ruined Ray Allen’s night by beating Boston by a final score of 92-86.
Early in the game, Ray Allen passed Reggie Miller (video) to become the all-time leader in made three-pointers in the history of the NBA. As it turned out, that was the highlight of the game for the Celtics. Led by Kobe Bryant’s 23 points, the Lakers outscored the Celtics 47-33 in the second half to secure an important victory.
Coming into this game, trade rumors were circling around the Lakers. Even though they are the two-time defending champions, the Lakers have looked bad at times this season. Do the Lakers need to make a trade? Apparently not. Beating Boston, arguably the best team in the NBA this season, in Boston should quiet the trade rumors and give the Lakers a lot of confidence.
