NBA Playoffs - Lakers vs Celtics

The Celtics beat the Lakers again 98 to 88 in Game 1. Paul Pierce, who used to sneak into Lakers games as a kid, came bounding out of the tunnel from the locker room after leaving with an injured knee. He led he Celtics to a tense victory of the Lakers in Game 1 of these tradition-soaked finals. An excited crowd of more than 18,000 screaming fans watched as Pierce made two 3-pointers in just 22 seconds to give the Celtics a 75-71 lead. What an exciting game. My son, the Lakers fan, had to be disappointed though.
