Two Down - Two To Go

After a nail-biting finish it's final, the Celtic's head to the West coast up 2-0. The big question for the game was the injury to Paul Pierce's knee. Though they said that his knee wasn't 100 percent, he sure played like it was. Pierce fired off 28 points. Leon Powe scored 13 of his 21 points off the bench in the second half. After amassing a 24 point lead, making me feel quite comfortable for a change, they then allowed the Lakers to slowly chip away, reducing it to single digits by the two-minute mark. Then the lead dropped to four points with a minute remaining, but the Celtics had possession and time to draw up their next play. Again Paul Pierce sunk two critical free throws with 22.8 seconds left as the Celtics held off a late comeback from the Lakers, for a game ending 108-102.
