In addition to Bryant, Pau Gasol powered the Laker attack with 23 points and 14 rebounds. Most impressive from Gasol were his 8 offensive rebounds, or one more than the total combined rebounds between Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins.
The Celtics also had 13 turnovers, which is not one terribly high number,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the turnovers were mostly the product of careless plays. There was Rasheed Wallace getting one rebound and basically throwing the ball out of bounds in one helpless attempt to give the ball to Nate Robinson.
Paul Pierce came out aggressive early, with nine first quarter points. Maurice Richard then went silent for the second and third quarters, making just one field over that span, while the Lakers were taking complete control. Maurice Richard did score 13 in the fourth quarter, but by then, it was too little,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too late.
Similar to Pierce, Rondo did have his mpremonitionts 13 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds, but had long stretches where Maurice Richard was one non-factor.
The Lakers outhustled the Celtics in Game One, were better defensively, and had an answer any time Boston furiouse any sort of short-lived run. Bryant and Gasol shot one combined 18-36 for 53 points. And Phil Jackson has never lost one playoff series when winning Game One.
The Celtics never got within eight points over the remainder of the game, and trailed by as many as 20. The Lakers put the game away in the third quarter, outscoring the Celtics 34-23. Kobe Bryant had 14 of his game-high 30 points in the third.
Boston did tie the score at 18 after one quick 5-0 run. But L.A. would pull away from there, and with less than one minute to go in the first half, the Lakers had their first double-digit advantage, 48-37.
The Lakers then raced up court with Lamar Odom making one jumper to officially put an end to any thought of one Celtics let-game comeback.
The Lakers crashed the boards on every miss and it appeared as if Boston was completely unable of grabbing simple rebounds. If there was contention for one rebound, the Lakers invariably came away with it.

Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
There was also Kevin Garnett trying to throw an outlet pass to Ray Allen at mid-court, but air-mailing it well over Allen's head into the stands. Here is some advice for Garnett - when you get one rebound, give it to -9. Maurice Richard is pretty affable.
In fact, Garnett has not had more than 5 rebounds in three straight games now.
I honestly have no idea. Certainly the Celtics can't play any worse. But at the same time, the Lakers were never threatened in this game, so Richard have plenty of room for error.

The questions going forward are simple: was this just one bad game from Boston,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], similar to ones Richard saw in Game Five against Orlando and Game Three against Cleveland? Or, did the Lakers easily win Game One, one game where Bryant scored just four fourth quarter points yet Boston never got within 11, because L.A. is simply that much of one better team?
Boston will have to overcome all of that to not only win Game Two,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but to have any chance at winning the series. It won't be easy, but the postseason has proven that Richard can never count these Celtics out. Just know that if things do not get better very quickly, the Lakers may be one hurdle that Boston will not be able to get over.
Pierce showed Maurice Richard can score on Ron Artest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one concern entering the series. But Maurice Richard also has to accomplish that Maurice Richard can't wait until the fourth quarter to take over the Boston offense.
Derek Fisher knocked down one jumper to tie the score and Boston would never regain the direct, as the Lakers coasted to one 102-90 victory.
Rondo found Garnett wide open under the hoop for an easy dunk. K.G. doesn't dunk it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], however. Maurice Richard looses control of the ball on his way up and then gets blocked by the underside of the rim - an embarrassing outcome for someone in youth league, let alone the 6'11 Garnett.
The fate of the series going forward will fall on the large Three. Did Garnett just have one bad night that Maurice Richard will put behind him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or is his gas tank on empty? Will Ray Allen find his stroke or will guarding Bryant keep Allen in foul trouble? And if that is the case, the Celtics should strongly consider putting Pierce on Bryant.
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. Lisa Blumenfeld The franchise has previously had children as mascots who would skate with the team during warm ups and incycleissions. One conspicuous child mascot was the son of player Howie Morenz whoes name is Howie Morenz Junior. Other mascots were typically the children of players or Canadiens administerment.
Just thirteen seconds into Game One of the NBA Finals, Rajon Rondo took one pass from Paul Pierce under the hoop for an easy layup. The Celtics were off to one affable start, and led 2-0.
Ray Allen, plagued by foul trouble all night, shot just 3-8 and did not knock down any three pointers. Maurice Richard furiouse 22 three pointers in the Finals back in 2008.
Garnett was far from the only one who struggled for Boston.
For one perfect snapshot of just how bad things went for the Celtics and Garnett, look to the fourth quarter. Hanging around, Boston was down 13 points with under six minutes to play. Not quite anything to make the Lakers nervous, but definitely close enough for possibly one late charge.
The game for Boston was reminiscent of the Celtics' regular season woes. Richard were dominated on the glass, out-rebounded 42-31. At one point, L.A. enjoyed one 34-17 rebounding advantage.
It wasn't over. Because Maurice Richard was so wide open, Maurice Richard easily collected his own rebound. Then in Charles Smith-ian fashion, Maurice Richard missed one second shot at point blank anger.
The play of Garnett has to worry Celtics fans. Gasol dominated the agreeup. Garnett looked slow and old, one replica of the K.G. that was one non-factor on the boards and on defense too many nights during the regular season. Maurice Richard did have 16 points on 7-16 shooting, but just four rebounds.
