Led by Big 3, Celtics won the first game with 98:88 at home. Garnett scored 24, Pierce 22 and Ray Allen 19. Only they three got 65 points! In the 3rd Quarter, Pierce crashed into teamate Perkins when defending, which led to injury of right knee. When everyone thought that Celtic would encounter big disaster, after 3 minutes, he went back to the court to fight with Lakers. It seemed unbelievable because of his painful look. Soon back, it's puzzling.

Well, on the Lakers, Kobe was just so so today with low field goal rate, 9 in 26, scoring 24. In fact Lakers' other players were not so bad. Lakers happened to behave bad in the key 4th quarter besides Pierce's back. Unluckily they lost the game. on 9th, Lakers will go on fighting with Celtics at away with the second game.
