2008 NBA Finals: Game Two - Lakers 102, Celtics 108

The Fig Cap: Leon Powe is unstoppable!
The Boston Celtics' Leon Powe came off the bench, played a little less than 15 minutes and scored 21 points. How did he do it? He attacked the rim like it owed him money. Powe went to the line a total of 13 times and converted on nine shots. The Los Angeles Lakers were perfect from the charity stripe... too bad they only visited the line a total of 10 times. Yes, TEN times!
There were many times I was watching the game and yelling, "Take it to the rim, don't settle for the jumper!" Unfortunately for them, the Lakers didn't listen. Kobe Bryant had a much better shooting game from the field, hitting 11 of 23 shots, as well as going 7-for-7 from the free-throw line and finishing with 30 points. However, he is only one player.
Check the Boxscore and don't forget, tonight, they do it again for Game Three at 9PM ET on ABC.
