from starters Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Ron Artest brought the Lakers close to
victory in Game 1. A record breaking performance from Ray Allen's eight three-point

The Celtics won Game 4; it didn't hurt that they netted an excellent performance in
baskets by the team’s reserves, while Paul Pierce led the team to a Game 5 win with
27 points on 57% shooting from the floor. The Lakers avoided elimination by winning a
decisive Game 6 with 24 points contributed by their bench. Although they trailed the
Celtics by 13 points early in the third quarter, the Lakers rallied and won their second
consecutive championship by taking over an exciting Game 7 aided by late
contributions on offense by Pau Gasol and Artest and rebounding. Bryant was named
Most Valuable Player of the Finals for his second consecutive trophy.
