Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo pulled a little Harlem Globetrotters flare mixed with some football moves against the Lakers on Thursday night.

Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo embraced their inner football player on Thursday night.  After the tipoff, Garnett snapped the ball to Rondo like an NFL longsnapper.  I have to admit, KG showed some pretty good form.  Rondo then snapped the ball to himself.  It was a funny, light-hearted moment to begin the game against the Los Angeles Lakers. 

The Lakers ended up beating the Celtics 88-87 in overtime.  Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 27 points while Pau Gasol scored 25 points and grabbed 14 rebounds.  Paul Pierce missed a shot in the final seconds.  Ray Allen attempted a putback shot, but Pau Gasol swatted the ball away.  Gasol's block won the game for the Lake Show.
