10/06/2008: Los Angeles Lakers-Boston Celtics 87-81 (NBA Finals 2008 - Game 3)
Historically, a 3-0 series deficit in basketball has been insurmountable, so one could certainly argue that the Lakers were facing elimination on Tuesday night. Kobe Bryant – though he was calm throughout, never desperate – certainly seemed to understand the urgency. He scored a game-high 36 points as his Lakers beat the Celtics, 87-81, and climbed back into the series.
C’è finale. I Lakers la riaprono, almeno in parte, vincendo gara-3 (87-81) in casa, grazie allo straordinario contributo dalla panchina dell’ex udinese Sasha Vujacic (20 punti con 7/10 al tiro, 3/5 da tre, in 27’), oltre alla solita partita super di Kobe Bryant (36 punti con 12/20 e 11/18 ai liberi). Boston spreca una buona occasione, essendosi trovata avanti di 5 nel 3° periodo e a -2 con 2’40″ da giocare.
