Arnold “Red” Auerbach once proclaimed, “The Boston Celtics are not a basketball team, they are a way of
life.” Tonight, the Celtics clinched their 17th NBA Title in the Banknorth Garden embarrassing the Lakers with a final score of 131 to 92. Even Kobe, Gasol or Jack Nicholas himself couldn't deny a room full of Bostonians winning moment in one of the most lop-sided playoff scores in NBA history
Boston's 'big three' of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen stepped up on their home court to lead their side to the huge win - Garnett and Allen scoring 26 points apiece and Pierce with 17 points and 10 assists. Kevin Garnett was obviously speechless at game en interviews. Garnett and former Celtic Bill Russell embraced and celebrated as fans stormed the courts in Boston. Paul Pierce received the final MPV for the playoff series. Ray Allen was on tonight with 36 points including 7 3 pointers which ties the record. .Awesome team.
