Not a few believe that the Celtics will finish the series at Staple Center, the Lakers pit. A championship celebration will be surely be half-baked when its won far away from home. Now with a 3-2 lead, the Celtics will return to their homecourt at TD Banknorth Garden with their guns ablazing for game 6.
Except for Paul Pierce, almost all of the Celtics were out of sync in game 5. But despite an off-night from the Celtics, the Lakers fought tooth and nail to carve out the hard-earned win. It was almost like game 4 all over again as the Celtics came back from a 19 point deficit in the 2nd quarter to take the lead early in the 3rd canto. But the breaks went LA's way down the stretch and KB24's crucial steal off Pierce sealed the victory for the team from la la land.
Now, everyone is bracing for the big one, the big celebration, the ultimate thing, the clinching of the diadem at home for the Celtics. Remember, the boys from beantown had lost only once at home in the play-offs and they had twice trounced the Lakers early in the series.
Its champagne time!
