Lakers, 18-5 (6:36, 1st quarter)
Just like in Game 4, the Celtics are off to a slow start here tonight.
The Lakers have made 7 of 12 field goals, including a trio of threes, to jump out to an early lead. Kevin Garnett has two mid-range jumpers for the Celtics, which constitutes as their only scoring from the field.
The Celtics are 2 of 9.
It’s clear Boston misses Kendrick Perkins. Pau Gasol just went over the top of Leon Powe for an offensive putback. Powe is giving up a ton of height to Gasol.
A rowdy Celtics fan up in the balcony just yelled that she’d gladly give the Lakers 24 points, seeing as they came back from that deficit last game. Her suggestion was not appreciated.
