The Lakers seemed to have the momentum in the first quarter after shooting 11 of 17 field goals and putting up a huge 24 point lead against the Celtics, the Lakers seemed to have collapsed in the next three quarters when Boston maid a big comeback a taking the victory.
Paul Pierce scored 20 pts, Garnett addedd 16 pts and 11 rebounds and Ray Allen had 19 pts to lead the Celtics. While Kobe Bryant had 19 pts with 6-of-9 field goals, Lamar Odom also had 19 pts, and Pau Gasol made 17 pts plus 10 rebounds. With this "Big Collapse" by the Lakers, they are now down 3-1 in the series which makes the situation scary for them because no team had came back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals history, and Boston could be one win away from winning their 17Th World Championship.
But despite of this lost, I still believe that the Lakers can do something about this. Game 5 will still be held at the Staples Center, they could win it and just play hard in Game 6 and 7 on Boston Garden, the Lakers have beaten many odds in their entire existence as a team in the NBA and they've defied many statistics and history. Who knows, they could be the first team to ever win after being down 3-1 in the finals. It ain't over until they loose in Game 5, so Lakers, pull yourselves together please.
