Boston Celtics

Celtics pulling away

A couple of lay-ups by Paul Pierce and a lay-up by P.J. Brown gave the Celtics a 74-59 lead and got the crowd back into the game with 2:31 left in the quarter. In between, an air ball by Kobe Bryant charged up the fans even more.

Then came the onslaught: a three-pointer by Ray Allen and a bucket by Leon Powe have the Celtics up 79-59 with 1:20 left in the third.

It’s absolutely crazy in here. Timeout, Lakers.
