Big win in Beantown


Last year, the Celtics swept the regular season series against the Lakers and went on to win the NBA Finals 4-2. With their OT win in Boston tonight, the Lakers returned the favor. Is this a sign of how the NBA Finals will turn out this year? Let's hope so.

Though he didn't have a great shooting night. Kobe did hit 3 three-pointers in the last 5 minutes of regulation to help the Lakers force overtime after trailing almost the entire 2nd half.

In other basketball news, our ward basketball team clinched a playoff spot with a win tonight. Aww yeah!

Oh - and the Mavericks are getting absolutely stomped on by the Jazz.

well, not as excited as you are about the Lakers win, but I'm sure you were the star of your ward game:)

our ward team has quite a few good players. we're pretty deep. and it seems as though somebody different shines every game. but, mom, i'll be honest - i didn't play too shabby last game. lots of offensive rebound putbacks. i hit a fade-away baseline jumper when the other team was rallying and we needed a score. it was a good game for me. hopefully we can take regionals next month and be softball and basketball regional champs!

enjoy it because it's the only time you'll ever have a team win in Beantown!

Ha! That last comment may as well have been a personal to me - so now we are taking shots at each other via blog? That is a slippery slope my friend...fortunately for you the Mavs do suck right now.
