It was when the Boston Celtics led as many as 14 points in the first half. It was when Ray Allen couldn’t miss from three-point range. It was when Allen had 27 points by the end of the half. It was Rajon Rondo was already nearing a triple-double by the time the second-half started. It was when the Celtics were dominant.
It was the Lakers, who literally bounced back in the final ten seconds of the game. Kobe stealing the pass, and shooting three…hitting it. 54-48. And then Kobe stole the ball again and made a last-second shot, but it missed. It was when Andrew Bynum was pretty dominant, even with injury. It was when the Lakes lost it in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, and they never came back.
It was when, the Los Angeles Lakers lost, 103-94, in a disappointing ending. The series is now tied as the Lakers head over to Boston, with their opponent so far having the momentum. And it doesn’t get better, though, because these next three games will be in Boston.
And the Lakers...
