Allen and Rondo extinguish L.A.

In the wake of Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo, Boston Celtics have imposed themselves on the floor of the Los Angeles Lakers (94-103) to return at 1-1 in the NBA Finals. If Allen scored eight points three, Rondo has offered a triple double. Californians could only see the damage.

LOS ANGELES LAKERS - Boston Celtics: 94-103
K. Bryant (LAL) 21 pts, 5 rbds, 6 ft.
P. Gasol (LAL) 25 pts, 8 rbds, 3 feet
A. Bynum (LAL) 21 pts, 6 rbds, 7 blocks
Ray Allen (Bos): 32 pts, 3 rbds, 2 feet
R. Rondo (Bos): 19 pts, 12 rbds, 10 feet
K. Perkins (Bos): 12 pts, 6 rbds, 3 feet

With 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, he signed his fifth triple-double in the playoffs and has been one of the great "snowman" of the evening. "He has done so much. It is our quarterback. It was special tonight," summarized Doc Rivers, coach of the 2008 champions, before adding the two heroes of the evening: "They have both been great.

A record for Allen:
For the Lakers, the case is more difficult. Imperial in Game 1, LA failed to keep its momentum to take off before challenging the Celtics on their floor. And for the first time this year, Californians have bowed to their audience in the playoffs.

Through the efforts of their interiors - Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum - the players of the City of Angels have still managed to stay in the match despite the stabs of Ray Allen before the break and the problems of lack of Kobe Bryant. But Kendrick Perkins and the collective has managed to raise his voice to regain the lead with three minutes remaining in the game (90-91) and fly to victory before three games in Boston, ahead boiling. The question is whether Ray Allen will keep the same pace ...
