The Boston Celtics played well in their Game 2 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2010 NBA Finals but was that reason for reason for Paul Pierce to pop off to the Lakers? faithful?
According to numerous reports, Pierce was heard saying, ?We ain?t coming back to L.A.!? in the dying minutes what would eventually be a 103-94 win for the Celtics ? Games 3, 4 and 5 (if necessary) will be played in Beantown and if the series goes to sixth and seventh games, they will be played back in Los Angeles.
Game 3, as mentioned, goes tonight and it wouldn?t be surprising if the quote is posted on the bulletin board in the Lakers? locker room.
Going into the third game of the NBA Finals, the Lakers are listed as 2.5-point underdogs and the Total is set at 192.5.
However, the Lakers haven?t done well when listed as ?dogs of 4-points or less, as they are 3-9 straight up in their last 12 games in that situation.
The Boston Celtics are 7-2 both SU and against the spread in their last nine games at the Garden and in their last seven games when listed as favorites of 4-points or less are 5-2 SU and ATS.
