GAME #4: Boston Celtics 96, Los Angeles Lakers 89
The Celtics outrebounded the Lakers 41-34 last night but it wasn’t until the 4th quarter when they outscored the Lakers 36-27 that the game was decided. Paul Pierce led the way for the Celtics last night with 19 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. Kevin Garnett pitched in with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot in 27 minutes on the floor. Ray Allen (12 points) and Rajon Rondo (10 points) helped out a little bit. But this game was won because of the bench as Glen “Big Baby” Davis and Nate Robinson gave the Celtics a huge boost off the bench. Davis only played 22 minutes last night but that didn’t stop him from scoring 18 points, grabbing 5 rebounds and stealing the ball twice. Nate Robinson was also electric off the bench with 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in only 17 minutes. The Celtics have tied up the NBA Finals at 2 games apiece.
