Down as much as 13 points early into the third quarter, Lakers star Kobe Bryant and his trusted comrades found a way to fight back in a decidedly un-Lakerlike fashion. Bryant finished the night with 23 points, 6 of 24 in field goal attempts for a series low 25 percent, along with 15 rebounds and 2 assists. The Lakers’ 53-40 rebound advantage over the Celtics proved to be a pivotal stat in the outcome of the game. This is Los Angeles 16th NBA Championship and second consecutive title. Bryant was named MVP of the Finals, despite an unspectacular performance in Game 7. For the series, Bryant averaged a commendable 28.6 pts., 8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists.
