Kobe Bryant (19 points, 8-20 FG) overcame a mediocre performance and drained a go-ahead jumper with 7 seconds left to beat the Celtics 90-89.
Rajon Rondo played a brilliant game – 21 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds. Doc inexplicably went without Rondo on the court for the final play. Had I drawn up the play, I would have had Rondo drive and either shoot or dish to the open man. Granted his numbers tailed off since halftime, but Rondo was playing the best of the all the Celtics.
More to come….
