The Celtics lost an awesome possibility this past Tuesday in NBA gambling news and let the home game momentum get away along with losing the possibility of claiming three consecutive games on home court. Paul Pierce who’s a former NBA Finals Most Valuable Player has to become more active as the Celts are in a do or die scenario. Both he and Ray Allen were fairly dormant in the previous loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, and they needed Ray Allen to have another major game. It’s unbelievable but Allen was -13 from the court after the spectacular and record breaking shooting of seven three pointers while in the first half alone of Game 2.

With one more game from Bryant, Gasol and Fisher the Los Angeles Lakers will be only one match away from their 5th NBA Title and NBA Champions for the second sequential season. Another strong player for the Los Angeles Lakers in game 3 was Bynum who won nine points, but more to the point he had ten rebounds, an invaluable asset in these playoff games.

The Boston Celtics won that match on Thursday night, tying up the series score to 2-2 with the Lakers. The Celtics’ win prevented a 3-1 deficit that has never been conquered in NBA finals history and guaranteed them a trip back to Los Angeles.

Despite no shots in the third quarter, two turnovers and one foul, Pierce led the Celts with 19 points. 61% of the Lakers’ points were acquired by guard Kobe Bryant (33 points) and forward Pau Gasol (21 points).
