Lakers draw closer

The Celtics almost had the Lakers tightwalking on the edge of a devastating 0-3 hole. But the LA Lakers Kobe wanted none of that. He did just enough to edge Boston in Game 3, 87-81. The Boston Celtics still lead the best-of-seven finals series, two games to one.

Game 4 is on Friday morning (Manila time).

The lines:
Straight up: LA Lakers
Against the spread: Boston (+9.5)
Over/under: Under (195.5)
