Celtics Only Win Half the Battle

Down 22 with 7:40 left to go in the game, most teams would have given up, most coaches would have pulled their stars, most fans would have gone to bed mad already, however, that cannot be said for Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. To the Lakers, 7:40 is just as good as a full quarter. Despite the inexcusable reffing during tonight's match, the Lakers played hard, scored baskets, and a decent number of important stops. Although they didn't get the win, they won half that battle, by stealing the momentum from Boston. Boston may think they have the momentum, being up 2-0, and keeping the Lakers from winning what would have been a heart-breaker for the Celtics, however, the fact that the Lakers were able to overcome the reffing and cut they Celtics 22 point, 4th quarter lead, down to 2 with a minute or so remaining, shows how great this team is, and it gives them the fire, the momentum, to make this series one to remember. Remember folks, L.A. is the only undefeated team at home in the playoffs thus far. With the momentum the Lakes received from their comeback tonight, and their toughness inside Staples Center, they should have no problem going up 3-2 on the Celtics. KG and PP34, get ready to dance.
