Paul “Willis Reed” Pierce
The Celtics dominated the boards and defensively clamped down on the Lakers and specifically Kobe Bryant in the second half. Kobe has to play better. The Lakers as a whole played well until they started to miss a lot of open shots in the 4th quarter. The defense the Celtics are playing on Kobe is very similar if not the same to what they played on Lebron James. It is designed to force the other players to win games and frustrate the superstar into tough shots.
