Summary from United States, from articles in English
|
Garnett scored 26 points with 14 rebounds, Allen scored 26 and Pierce added 17 as the Celtics, a 24-win team a year ago, wrapped up their first crown since 1986. (article 4)
On a new parquet floor below aging championship banners, the Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA title and a first one - at last - for Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen - their Big Three for a new generation. (article 3)
Boston's Big Three shot awfully as did most of the Celtics, but the NBA s top-seeded team stayed competitive for much of the game thanks to a stark disparity in free throws. (article 10)
The Lakers had just seen a 14-point fourth-quarter lead shrink to just two points in the final minute, when Bryant reached behind Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce, forcing Pierce to lose the ball to Lamar Odom. (article 15)
Odom had 20 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots, Gasol added 19 points, 13 rebounds and six assists, and the Lakers beat the Celtics 103-98 Sunday night to trim Boston's lead to 3-2. (article 19)
Allen rushed from Staples Center after the Los Angeles Lakers' 103-98 win Sunday night that forced a sixth game Tuesday night in Boston. (article 9)
