It was even more special, and perhaps surprising, that the win gave the Celtics a 6-0 record since losing point guard Rajon Rondo for the season with a torn knee ligament. The Celtics came with a big win over The Los Angeles Lakers 95-116. Their rivalry showed as they were playing, especially Paul Pierce and his stats with 24 points that game. Kobe Bryant did as much as he can do with Gasol out because of a torn plantar placia in his ankle and Howard's sore shoulder from missing out a couple games.
Garnett reached 25,000 points with an 11-foot turnaround jumper that gave him six for the game and put the Celtics ahead 39-29 with 8:08 left in the half. Jeff Green had 19 points and Jason Terry added 15.
Bryant scored 27 to lead the Lakers, who had won their previous three games but suffered their worst loss of the season. Howard had nine points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes before fouling out with 5:07 left.
