Boston Celtics

Lakers not folding

Unlike in Game 4, the Lakers have withstood a charge by the Celtics and have fought back to reclaim the lead.

Trailing for the first time, Pau Gasol made a turnaround jump shot to tie the game. Gasol then converted on a three-point play, and Derek Fisher followed with a three-point play of his own.

The 9-2 run was capped by a three-pointer from Vladimir Radmonovic. It’s 71-64 Lakers with five minutes to play in the third.
