June 17, 2008: Los Angeles Lakers 92 | Boston Celtics 131
After 22 years of waiting, the Boston Celtics have won their 17th National Basketball Association championship, adding to the 16 that already hang from the rafters of the TD Banknorth Garden and before that, the old Boston Garden.
The Celtics won the game 131 to 92 and won the series with 4 wins over their old rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers’ 2. The game was highlighted by Ray Allen’s seven 3-pointers, tying the NBA Finals single game record. Paul Pierce has been chosen series MVP.
The season is noted for the biggest season turnaround in NBA history as the last Celtics season was considered to be one of the worst in franchise history.
