The much anticipated return to Boston proved to be sweet revenge for the Lakers. It was once again a very exciting game. Thankfully Kevin Garnett woke up and started to show us a little of his insane skills (you might recall he was the first player ever to be drafted right out of high school to the NBA). But even KG's reappearance wasn't enough for the Celtics last night.
It looked promising for the Celtics in the first few minutes, so much so that my fellow spectator and delightful husband, Andy, took back his "Lakers in 5" statement and revised it to "if they keep this up, Celtics in 5". But not so fast says the Coach Phil Jackson of the Lakers as he calls a time out and gets his team re-focused. The Lakers went on to block all of Ray Allen's previously unstoppable 3 pointers and took the lead for most of the second and third quarters. With Kevin Garnett scoring 25 points during the game, the Celtics were able to close the gap in the fourth, but then...
Derek Fisher stole the show. He scored 11 of his 16 points in the last quarter, played great defense and made amazing plays happen, ending the Celtics hopes for a win with his final coast to coast play of remarkable beauty. Definitely worth checking out the highlights on SportsCenter.
As for the fashion scene in Boston, I don't really have a lot to report on that front right now. I need to collect my thoughts after being temporarily stunned by this hot fellow. He's no (Marky) Mark Wahlberg, but I've got to applaud his team spirit.
The next game is Thursday night. Will LA take the win and the chance to close out the series in Boston a la Andy's prediction, Lakers in 5? Can the Boston Three-Party coordinate their skills and all give a peak performance on the same night? Will Marky Mark grace grace us with his presence courtside? A lot of questions to be answered on Thursday night. I'll be watching...
xoxo
