Celtics fall short of NBA title

The Boston Celtics saw a 13-point lead and their NBA title hopes vanish in thin air in an 83-79 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Boston did an outstanding job of shutting down Kobe Bryant, who had a miserable shooting night.

Without Kendrick Perkins in the lineup, the Celtics had no answer down low for the Lakers’ height.

Pau Gasol dominated the interior, although Glen Davis, Kevin Garnett and Rasheed Wallace all played well.

Ray Allen did not play well, and a lot of his missed three-pointers may have been the difference in the game.
