The Boston Celtics took a 2-0 lead over the Los Angeles Lakers with a 108-102 vicotry last night. The Celtics covered and the Over hit. The Celtics held a 24 point lead before the Lakers cut the lead to 2, 104-102. The Lakers scored 41 4th quarter points, but couldn’t make the plays needed in the last minute of the game. The usual suspects did it for the Celtics, but throw in the name Leon Powe who had 21 points in 15 minutes of playing time. Rajon Rondo also had 16 assists. Game 3 is Tuesday in LA, the line has opened at LA -9 and the Total is set at 195.
The Lakers are 8-0 at home in the post-season and they are going to need to make it 9-0 if they expect to make a series of these Finals. The Celtics enjoyed a major advantage from the foul line, getting there 38 times compared to the Lakers’ 10. Phil Jackson of course thought it was intentional and that the refs were horrible. Then again Phil Jackson may be the biggest cry-baby coach that has ever paced a sideline. The Lakers horrendous defense could be a more likely cause for the foul shooting disparity. The Lakers supposed stellar bench has been non-existent so far in this series.
There have been only 3 teams that have overcome 0-2 deficits to win the NBA Championship, Boston in 1969, Portland in 1977 and Miami in 2006.
