Rondo Beats Buzzer, Celtics in 1st Rivalry Game as Laker

When his name was called in pregame introductions, the sold-out Boston crowd erupted for Rajon Rondo. Little did they know, he would have them silenced at the end of the night.

With time running out and the Lakers trailing by one, Tyson Chandler kept a loose rebound alive just in time for Rondo to scoop it up and fire a shot from the elbow at the buzzer.

Seconds later, he was being lifted into the air by his Lakers teammates, as he had just given them a 129-128 victory over his former team, the rival Boston Celtics.
