2007-08 Team Book

This season brought a return to glory for long-time rivals Boston and Los Angeles, who met in the Finals for the first time in twenty years.

Boston's resurgence from worst-to-first was fueled by a roster overhaul that brought in two star veterans who were thirsty for a championship, teaming with the team's star player and several key role players to play suffocating defense en route to a league-high 66 wins.

Out in Los Angeles, it was deja vu for the team's revered coach on his second tour of duty with the club, who developed a better working relationship with the team's superstar that paid great dividends. With a deeper roster bolstered by mid-season trading, LA exceeded expectations in reaching the Finals for the first time since early in the decade, breezing through a tough Western Conference, including a five-game ouster of the league's defending champs.

Boston had a tougher playoff road to the Finals, surviving two 7-game series against tenacious Atlanta and Cleveland and a 6-game tilt against tough Detroit. But in the end, the veterans found their second wind and wouldn't be denied the opportunity to cap off a terrific season with a championship in six games over their nemesis from the West.
