We talked about this like a week ago, but I wanted to bump it.  Since there's no sports happening, ESPN was showing the 30 for 30 about the Lakers Celtics rivalry, the episode I watched was focused on the 84 finals.  I was watching and following the box scores on my computer as I did.

In the series (Celtics won in 7), the two teams each averaged about 116 points a game (Lakers actually outscored Boston despite losing).  In the series, the teams combined to attempt 42 3 pointers in the 7 games, making 15.  The Lakers were 6-18 in the whole series, and even that is a little skewed, they took 8 in game 7.  Here's the breakdown

Game 1: 1-2
Game 2: 0-2
Game 3: 0-1
Game 4: 0-0
Game 5: 2-3
Game 6: 1-2
Game 7: 2-8

Lakers took 18 3's the whole series, in the last NBA finals, there were 6 guys on Toronto who took more than 18 3's and 4 on the Warriors.

Another way things were different, Boston had an offensive rebound% of about 38 in the finals, the Lakers 31.  Last year, both teams were around 22% or so.
