The comeback fell short tonight. We're headed back to Boston. We have to find a way to stop spotting the Lakers a huge lead early.
-
Can't complain about the effort Paul Pierce gave tonight. 38 big points in the loss.
-
Kobe's steal (looked like a foul from here) was the play that essentially won it.
- With that said, it never should have got to that point. I won't use officials as an excuse.
-
Another double double for KG, but we still haven't seen his best game.
-
Missing two free throws in the clutch hurts too.
-
Appologies to Sam Cassell - he played well in the clutch tonight.
-
Nice to see Tony Allen making a contribution.
-
Hats off to the Lakers who were fast out of the gate and finished it off.
-
Kobe had a decent game but Odom and Gasol were the difference.
-
We missed Perkins tonight. His presence was lacking in the middle.
Bottom line: LA is a quality opponent and it is no surprise that they made this a little more interesting, but Boston is still the better team and will finish it out in Boston.
