It was not pretty, but the Los Angeles Lakers took the lead in the series in Game 3 in Boston. Without an all-star performance from Bryant and Gasol, foul trouble for Artest and Bynum's knee bugging him again, the Lakers still outperformed the Celtics. Ray Allen went 0-13, just a game after he set an NBA Finals record for most 3-pointers in a game. Garnett started off hot with the first 6 points but it was not enough to get the Celtics past the Lakers. Pierce also struggled from the field but was hot behind the arc. The game was a fast paced game, but was lead by the Lakers the whole game from midway through the first quarter. Derek Fisher, the only other 4-time champion on the Lakers and started the same year as Bryant did, had a huge burst in the 4th quarter that secured the Lakers' second victory of the Finals. The play of the game was when Fisher drove to the basket on a fast break and was fouled by three Celtics and still made the basket! Game 4 is tomorrow night at 9 on ABC.
Oh, author's note to Pierce - You may not head back to Los Angeles after all!!!! It may end for you bums in Boston!!!!
Go L.A.!!!!!
