The Boston Celtics are one win away from an unprecedented 17th NBA Championship thanks to a nearly improbable comeback.
They stormed back from an early 24-point hole then took charge in the second half taking down the Lakers, 97-91. Boston trailed by as much as 24 in the first half and were still down by 20 with about 6 minutes to go in the third. From then on, the Celtics outscored LA, 57-33, the rest of the way. They extend their Finals series lead three games to one.
It was the Lakers' first loss at the Staples Center this postseason.
What better way to celebrate a long-awaited championship than for Boston to clinch it at their rival's homecourt. They have a chance to do that in Game 5 which is set for Monday morning (Manila time).
The lines:
Straight up: Boston
Against the spread: Boston (+7.5)
Over/under: Under (191.5)
