‘Member?: Beat L.A.? Not Quite… Lakers Put Celtics 19-Game Winning Streak To Bed

Whas happened in sports last night.

• NBA: Los Angeles used a stout defense in the last three minutes of their game against the Boston Celtics yesterday to shut them down, and help them end the Celt’s team-record 19-game winning streak. Kobe Bryant was typical Kobe, knocking down 27 points, nine rebounds and five assists, but Pau Gasol stopped sucking long enough towards the end, scoring five points and helping out on D to help his team lock up the win.
