Lakers win game three 87-81 to cut the Celtics lead in the series to 2-1. Paul Pierce was simply awful for Boston (Garnett was for the first 30 minutes of the game as well) and Lamar Odom was brutal for the Lakers (Gasol was pretty bad too). Kobe Bryant and Sasha Vujacic got the Lakers this win. Both players made key shots down the stretch. Allen was great for Boston but had no help.
It's funny how where the game is played determines the amount of fouls (Game 2 and 3). These teams should just play game 7 in Boston on Thursday because that's what it will come down to.
