MVP: Tyler Zeller. I can’t give it to any Laker tonight because this was a bad effort in a rivalry game. The Lakers came out flat, uninterested, while Boston came out hungry. He finished with 24 points on 10-11 shooting and grabbed 14 rebounds and dismantled the Lakers frontline.
LVP: Lots of choices tonight. I’ll go with Wesley Robert Boozer. Or Carlos Johnson-Sacre. Either way, Carlos Boozer, Robert Sacre and Wesley Johnson combined to go 2-21 from the field, 13 rebounds, 2 assist, 2 block, and 4 points. That’s as bad as it gets folks.
Stat of the Night: In 31 minutes, Rajon Rondo had a +/- of +40. In 33 minutes, Kobe Bryant‘s +/- was -29. That about sums it up.
