Celtics' Come Up Short In LA To Start Road Trip

The Celtics came back from as much as 15 points down but fell to the Lakers 97-94 Sunday at Staples Center. Rajon Rondo led the C's with 24 points and 10 assists despite dealing with an eye injury.

Kevin Garnett and Brandon Bass played a great game, combining for 29 points, 19 rebounds and eight assists despite playing against a much larger Lakers front court. Andrew Bynum hit a late hook shot to seal the game for LA.
