Yesterday the Boston Celtics took a 2-0 lead vs. the Lakers Game 2 of the NBA Finals 2008. Paul Pierce despite of hurting his knee in Game 1 lead the celtics in a 108-102victory against the Lakers scoring 28 points.
The Lakers showed a sloppy kind of defense all throughout Game 2, while Boston showed a tough defense just like in Game 1. The Boston Celtics open the 4th quarter with a whoping 22 point lead and in the remaining 7:55 of the game, the Celtics were up by 95-71. The Celtics were already rejoicing with that lead, Paul Pierce was even laughing but as usual the Los Angeles Lakers made a 14-2 run cutting the Celtics lead by just 2 points(104-102).But Paul Pierce cut into the basket and drew a foul from Pau Gasol and made 2 free throws making the score 106-102. Sasha Vujavic immediately fired a three but was blocked by Pierce, The Lakers fouled and with two more free throws with not much time left, the Celtics took victory in Game 2. Game 3 will be Tuesday night(Wednesday morning in Manila) this time in Staples Center in Los Angeles were the Lakers are undefeated for 2 months.
I just niticed something about the C/S Sports Broadcast on RPN 9, the announcer Quinito Henson was so bias about his calling of the game. For 48 minutes of the game our TV sets were flooded by his praises for the Celtics and he quashed the Lakers with his comments. Over the years he hasnt changed, he will cheer for any team in the Finals but not the Lakers.
