Celtics, 62-60 (3)
The Celtics were never really out of this game, but all of a sudden they’re leading it. If that makes any sense.
Boston was never down big in points, but the Celtics needed to shape up their play to have any chance in this game.
They did that in the third quarter.
Ray Allen has carried the Celtics. He has 22 points on 7-of-10 shooting. Collectively, the Celtics are shooting 37 percent.
Kevin Garnett, 1 of 9 in the first half, was 3 of 6 in the third quarter. That doesn’t sound like much, but he tied the game and then gave the Celtics the lead on consecutive shots midway through the period. Two big, big shots.

The Lakers are still being led by Kobe Bryant, who has 26 points.
