Lakers, Celtics take 3-2 leads....Hornets try to close it out.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics both had to win at home last night and both did just that. Kobe only took 10 shots which was a shocker to me! Gasol played great and the Lakers held off the Jazz in a close game at the Staples center. If you are a Laker fan you must have been nervous as it was a close one at the end! I think this one will go 7 games as it seems that home court is a big advantage in this years playoffs.

The Celtics did what they had to do as well and take care of their precious home court. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo played great, the difference was Rondo in my opinion as he had 20 points and 13 assists and created havoc in the lane with his scoring as assists. Doc Rivers was right the Celtics are a much better team when they make the extra pass!

For the first time in 2 years the Spurs are playing a must win game but it is at home where they play well. Can the Hornets close them out on the Spurs home court? Well I think that will be tough what do you think? If Tim Duncan does not wake up today this series will end tonight. Especially if Paul and West keep playing the way they have been for most of this series. This game will be fun to watch, I think the winner of this series may win it all we shall see.
