In an ugly final game of the NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics in Los Angeles on Thursday night, 83-79, to repeat as champions, winning the last two games at home to go back-to-back.
32.5 percent shooting from the field - abysmal...20 percent shooting on three's - atrocious...your superstar going 6 for 24 from the floor - abominable...a 20 free throw attempt advantage at home (and making ten more free throws than your opponent) - priceless. The Lakers accomplished all four this evening in a game which may be looked at as both great defensively and as a great big apple in two teams' throats.
Regardless...congratulations, Lakers.
And goodnight, 2009-10 season.
