Lakers, 58-40 (half)
It’s been that kind of half.
Jordan Farmar drove the length of the court and banked in a three-pointer at the end of the half to send the crowd into a frenzy and put another dagger into the hearts of Celtics fans. If the Celtics can take any solace, their teamfound themselves down by as many as 24 points in the first half, but they’ve inched a little closer here before the break.
What’s going wrong for Boston? Thirty-five percent shooting is a good place to start. Rajon Rondo has been fairly ineffective, and his backups, Sam Cassell and Eddie House, played a combined 12 minutes and didn’t have an assist between them.
Lamar Odom is having his best (some might say his only) game of the series. He’s leading all scorers with 15 points. Pau Gasol has 10. Kobe Bryant has 3 points, but he has 6 assists.
The one bright spot is that James Posey has been fantastic for the Celtics. He has 10 points.
