@tsarstepan,
End of the 3rd Quarter. Tied 72 to 72! Come on Celtics!! Knock the Lakers out with a 1 - 2 punch!
They need to start a 10 point or greater run and tire out Kobe.
@tsarstepan,
Under 4 minutes and LA is up by a single point.
I hate nail biters!
@tsarstepan,
2:59 on the clock. Timeout from Boston. Boston 91 - LA 90.

that was playoff basketball -- both teams competing hard, unlike game one...
@Region Philbis,
The Celtics came out on the Right side of this nail biter!!
@tsarstepan,
Another nail biter!!
Celtics down by a single point with under 10 minutes in the game:
68 to 67. Time out LA.
@tsarstepan,
Under 3 minutes and the Lakers have a 4 point advantage.
Today's game is a must win for Boston!
Right now the Celtics are winning 45 to 39 at the half.

6 minutes left in the game:
Celtics up by 6 points, 81 - 75.
@tsarstepan,
Under 3 minutes remaining and the Celtics double their lead to 12!!
@tsarstepan,
Both teams are pitiful on the free throw line!
Celtics up by 8 with 1:39 on the clock.

@tsarstepan,
The Celtics win the pivotal game: 92 to 86. They now lead the NBA Finals 3 games to 2 and the final two games are in LA.

yeah, that tends to happen in pressure-packed games...
Bad news, people...
Kendrick Perkins is not suiting up for Game 7. That's a serious shortage of rebounding and height in the paint for the Celts. Now we have to rely on Rasheed Wallace, who can implode emotionally any moment and has a bad back, and Big Baby, who sometimes gets stage fright and over-thinks things.
Not a pretty picture, considering that the Lakers are fired up and playing well right now.
I'll keep my fingers crossed...
