The Lakers vs. Celtics Christmas Day game was possibly the most anticipated regular season game in NBA history. The Celtics had just beaten the Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals, they were on a 19 game win streak, and posted the best 29 game start in NBA history at 27-2. The Lakers were the best team in the Western Conference by far and were looking to get their NBA Finals revenge, and they did just that. Fuck yeah! The Lakers controlled the entire game. The issues of softness and bad D had been resovled, if only for a game. They held the Celtics to 82 points and the return of Andrew Bynum sure helped with the Lakers toughness. The game started Christmas day off just right.
You never knew...
