Boston Celtics won the last morning at Los Angeles Lakers by 108 to 102, which puts it 2-0 in the box for the Celtics.

2007-2008 NBA is about to end. How much is left half weeks. That yes, week and a half of tension and rivalry between two of the most legendary teams in sports history. The Celtics are just two victories from its seventeenth ring, the first in twenty years.

The party had a key difference from the other day: Leon Powe. The unknown player scored 21 points in 15 minutes to become the second leading scorer in Boston. The surprise factor. That yes, the Celtics had to suffer until the last minute and almost let victory in the hands of the Lakers.

Because, after gaining 24 points with only 8 minutes (the two numbers of Kobe Bryant), the Lakers won 104-102 to climb back up to get on the scoreboard.

Paul Pierce led the Celtics to victory with 28 points, Kevin Garnett scored 17 with 14 rebounds and Ray Allen also scored 17 points. Rajon Rondo handed out 16 assists. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers attack with 30 points, but with poor percentages. In the four games he has played against the Celtics, Kobe Bryant has not enjoyed good percentages. Pau Gasol scored 17 points with 10 rebounds, but despite that could cut the gap to the last moment, in the end succumbed to the Celtics, who be trusted and thought they had victory in hand in the fourth quarter.

It is interesting to cull some information that Dave McMenamin of Nba.com has discovered. Recall that the NBA is the league of Statistics:

- Rajon Rondo got more assists than all the Lakers together.

- The Celtics got a partial of 10-0 and a 13-0 early in the second and third quarters, respectively.

- The Celtics scored the same number of triples that the Lakers free throws attempted.

That's the thing. Now the series shifts to LA to play three home games of the Lakers (which can be 2 if the Celtics win the two games). Only three teams in NBA history have been able to overturn a 0-2 against.
