The Celts let the home game energy get away along with losing the potential for taking three consecutive matches on home court and lost an amazing chance this last Tuesday in NBA betting news. Paul Pierce who is a past NBA Finals Most Valuable Player has to become more active as the Boston Celtics are in a do or die scenario. Both he and Ray Allen were fairly inactive in the previous loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, and they required Ray Allen to have another huge game. It’s incredible but Allen was -13 from the court following the spectacular and record breaking shooting of 7 three pointers from the first half only of Game 2.
The Los Angeles Lakers will be only one game away from their 5th NBA Title and NBA Victors for the second sequential season with one other good game from Bryant, Gasol and Fisher. Bynum, who obtained nine points, was another strong player for the Los Angeles Lakers in game 3, but more importantly he had ten rebounds, a priceless asset in these playoff matches.
The Celtics won that match on Thursday night, tying up the series score to 2-2 with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celts’ win guaranteed them a trip back to Los Angeles and averted a 3-1 deficit that has never been overcome in NBA finals history.
Pierce led the Boston Celtics with 19 points despite no shots in the third quarter, two turnovers and one foul. Guard Kobe Bryant (33 points) and forward Pau Gasol (21 points) got 61 percent of the LA Lakers’ points.
