Celtics beat Lakers to take a 3-2 lead. As the series wears on, the Lakers are playing less like a team, and the Celtics are getting more and more from their bench. The fact that Kobe had 38 points with very little support from Gasol and Bynum tells you everything you need to know.
The Lakers are good enough to turn this thing around and win both games at home, but if the Celtics can continue to make LA look one-dimensional and keep the pressure on Kobe to be all-things-to-everyone, the series could go to Boston.
