And it was another win for the Boston Celtics on Game 4 of this season’s NBA Finals!
Rallying from a 24-point lead during the first half of the game, the Celtics still managed to win over the Los Angeles Lakers with 97-91 as the final scores, taking the 3-1 lead in this excitement-filled series and leaving them with just one more win to be declared as this season’s NBA Champ!
To cut down the opponent’s lead, the Celtics’ big three, namely Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen doubled their effort and exuberance during the 3rd quarter of the game, scoring 20 points, 16 points, and 19 points, respectively. Garnett also had 11 rebounds throughout the game.
It was really an epic comeback, especially since no team in the history of NBA had ever triumphed over more than a 15-point deficit after the 1st quarter of the game. The Celtics has thus made a legacy that will forever be remembered during the Celtics-Lakers rivalry.
So, is it now over for the LA Lakers? For the record, no team has ever recovered from and won in a 3-1 deficit in the history of NBA finals.
Inspired to get the game over with and become this season’s NBA Champion, Pierce said, “It can always happen. We aren’t counting on that statistic. We want to take care of this on Father’s Day.”
So the question now is, as we observe Father’s Day on Sunday, will the Celtics fans be celebrating 2 special occasions?
