LA Lakers defeat Boston Celtics 87-81. What an ugly game. Pau Gasol was Ga-soft again. Lamar Odom sat on the bench with foul trouble most of the game. So leave it up to Sasha Vujacic to take up the slack. With 20 points he was the only Laker not named Kobe Bryant to score double-digits. The Lakers were more aggressive as perfectly shown by Jordan Farmar in the second quarter. After getting pushed by 6'11" PJ Brown going after a rebound, 6'2" Farmar got into Brown's face. The Lakers defense also did a good job holding Paul Pierce to only six points. MVP of game two Leon Powe had only one point, and although Kevin Garnett got 13 points he yet again retreated to the perimeter. The Lakers now trail the Celtics two games to one.

How does UCLA celebrate winning a tough game against the Washington State Cougars? By tanking it against the Washington Huskies.

I really did think the Arizona State Sun Devils would give the UCLA Bruins more trouble than the Arizona Wildcats. It looks like neither of those squads did much of anything against the Bruins.
