Boston Celtics

Lakers hanging around

Los Angeles is not letting this game get away from them in the first half.

After being down by as much as 10 points, a three-point play by Pau Gasol has the Lakers within four, 41-37, with 3:56 remaining in the first half.

Troubling for the Celtics is the fact that the Lakers are shooting 50 percent in this game. If not for their 9 turnovers, LA would be in the driver’s seat.
