It almost appeared last night that the Lakers had a lid on the Celtics’ basket as the Celtics only shot 34.9% from the floor and it killed them in the end. Ray Allen led the way for the Celtics with 25 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Kevin Garnett only shot 6 of 21 from the floor but he still finished with 13 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocked shots. James Posey pitched in with 9 points and 7 rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench. Paul Pierce had a game to forget as he only shot 2 of 14 from the floor and finished with only 6 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. This lost cut the Celtics lead to 2-1 in this series.
