Boston Celtics

Celtics, 86-78 (8:42, 4th quarter)

Sam Cassell hit a jumper from the foul line, and James Posey nailed a 3-pointer on Boston’s next possession as the Celtics have opened up a 6-point lead heading into the final stretch. The crowd was as loud as it’s been all game after Posey’s three.

Timeout, Lakers.
