- The Celtics are 20-2 since Christmas while the Lakers are 15-10.
- Three and a half weeks after beating the Lakers by 15 in Boston (having led by 23 in the fourth quarter), the Celtics beat LA in the Forum without Kevin McHale.
- LA has not scored 100 points against Boston this season. The Lakers have cracked the century mark in 46 of their other 50 games.
- Magic Johnson did not score a basket yesterday. He didn't have a rebound when LA played in Boston. He has averaged only 10.5 points and 3 rebounds against Boston this year.
- The Celtics outrebounded LA by 16 in two games.
- Abdul-Jabbar scored 23 yesterday, but was unable to exploit a foul- plagued Robert Parish (23 minutes), and again appeared very much intimidated by Mr. Bill Walton.
- The Lakers scored only 12 fast-break points yesterday.
- Boston's bench outscored the Laker subs, 62-53, in two games.
