CELTICS WIN 17TH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
The Boston Celtics earned the title this evening of NBA World Champions by blowing out and embarassing the Los Angeles Lakers, 131-92, in Game 6 at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston.
The Celtics completely dismantled the timid-playing Lakers during the second half. The Lakers made little spurts to try and get back, but were never able to make any dent in the Celtics’ 23-point halftime lead, until Boston just completely poured it on, winning by 39 points.
The Celtics won this NBA Finals series 4 games to 2. The Lakers never really showed up for this game, allowing Boston to dominate from start to finish.
Maybe, just maybe, with a healthly Andrew Bynum and Trevor Ariza, along with Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol as the Lakers’ starting five, MAYBE they might be more successful next year. However, to have come within 2 games of the championship, themselves, was quite an accomplishment for such a young and upcoming team.
Write On Sports extends its congratulations to the World Champion Boston Celtics.
