C's Aim to Put LA On Their Heels

Following a day of rest, reflection, and preparation, the NBA Finals is back in action tonight for Game 4 at the Staples Center.


The outcome of Game 3 was not of much appeal to the Celtics or their fans, as they dropped a winnable game on the road, 87-81. Boston went away from their attack mindset that they displayed through the first two games of the series, and reverted to settling from the perimeter. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce were the catalysts for this deficiency, as the two stars combined for 8-35 shooting from the field. The Lakers, on the other hand, forced the issue and made it a point to come out and be the aggressors. As a result, they attacked the basket, got to the free throw line, and made the big plays necessary to put the game away.

With all of that said, the Celtics still hold a 2-1 series advantage and have two chances to get at least one victory at the Staples Center. Will the green get it done tonight in Game 4 and put themselves up 3-1, or will the Lakers even this thing up at 2-2 before yet another pivotal Game 5? Stay tuned.
