Key Moment

It wasn’t what Celtics fans wanted to see, but it was fitting, wasn’t it?

Kobe Bryant, during his final game at TD Garden, did to the Celtics what he has done so many times before: he sent them home with a sour taste in their mouths thanks to a 112-104 Lakers win.

Bryant had made only four of his first 17 shots on the night while his teammates carried the load. They played so well, in fact, that Los Angeles at one point grabbed a 14-point lead during the second half.
