We’ll let MSNBC tell it:
The Celtics took the best the Lakers could offer Sunday night — Kobe Bryant’s 23 straight points on seemingly impossible shots from the second quarter to late in the third on the way to a 38-point game — and left the Garden for the last time this season with a 92-86 victory and a 3-2 lead in the finals.
They go at it again in Game 6 in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, both teams beaten up, several players limping, the ferocity escalating. It will be a change of scenery but the Lakers will need a shift in strategy to keep the Celtics from claiming their 18th NBA title and celebrating in front of all those courtside celebrities in Tinseltown.
As spectacular as Bryant can be, he can’t beat the Celtics by himself.
Will the series make it to game seven or will Boston deliver the death blow?

The Lakers do not deserve to touch a championship trophy this year after the way they’ve been playing. Boston plays collectively as a team where numerous members contribute in this particular series…from starters to bench players. They appear to be more willing to go the extra mile to win or pehaps the series is fixed as many have mentioned to me. Wouldn’t be that far fetched but thus far the Lakers have not played effectively as a team the last two games. Kobe tried the solo route last night but without a team supporting him, not much he can do solo against a collective team
you freakin idiot talkin bout some maybe the series is fixed..
its over baby…….celtics will celebrate on lakers floor
LETS GO CELTICS BABY!!!! GET IT!!!!!
Curb your enthusiasm people. Lakers in 7.
I hope Celtics win the next game. #7 can be way too much stress for me to handle!! Love u Kobe, but go Boston!!
#TeamGreen…Let’s go C’s
Too close to stop now……
people always saying the game is fixed really if the games were fixed the other series woul;d have lasted longer ask the million dollar players that still feel bad after they lose if it is fixed now as for how the game is called it will always be iffy but a win comes most time form pure play of the teams but close ones can be influenced
eff boston. go lakers!!!
