The Lakers still survive in the NBA Finals

Los Angeles Lakers, with a large contribution from the whole team won last night at Boston Celtics 103-98 in Game Five of the NBA Finals, q ue are 3-2 in favor of the Celtics.

The game started well for the Lakers, who endorsed a partial in the first quarter 39-22. However, the fear that the same thing happened three days ago, when the Celtics overcame a 24-point difference, returned to Staples Center when the Celtics won the second set by 30-16.

But the strength of the Lakers was bigger this time. An entire city devoted and crazy stage for supporting players. "Not in our house!" Read on the scoreboard. "This is not over yet!" Said the speaker. The spectacle of the NBA is almost impossible to imitate in any league in any other sport. Can you imagine something like this in the first division? That's all much more cinematic. How the Yankees like the paraphernalia!

"We wanted to see not a single bubble of champagne," said Lamar Odom, author of 20 goals in the match. Kobe Bryant returned to lead the Lakers, but this time had more support from peers. He was the author of 25 points and Pau Gasol 19 and 13 rebounds, after the other days were booed by the fans at Staples.

The Celtics' Big Three was the only thing that worked on the green team, especially Paul Pierce who scored 38 points. But hardly anyone scored more, and that weighs in winning a match.

No team has managed to climb back from 3-1 in the NBA Finals. The Lakers now have the opportunity to be pioneers in doing so. To do so, must win both remaining games of the Finals, both in Boston, with everything against them. But let's review soul dream curious note to allow the Lakers to the ring (the Celtics do not need to dream, they have everything from face).

- The Celtics have the same number of games played by a team in the playoffs. During this post-season played 25 games, matching the New York Knicks in 94 and Detroit Pistons in 2005. Both sets lost the NBA Finals in Game Seven.
