Paul Pierce was shut down throughout the game, until he got some garbage points at the end.
One shocking thing that happened in Game 1 was that Derek Fisher shut down Rajon Rondo on the offensive end. I thought Rondo would dominate Fisher, but obviously I was wrong.
I expect the Lakers to win Game 2 if they play the same way as they did in Game 1.

The Lakers shocked me in Game 1 in how they dominated the Boston Celtics. I thought the Celtics would steal Game 1.
Overall, the Lakers brought there A game in Game 1.
