NBA Basketball News :: Celtics Hold Out Lakers Rally for 2-0 Lead

Posted on 2008-06-09 by Gooner

The Boston Celtics are two wins from another NBA championship.

After leading 83-61 at the end of the 3rd quarter Boston had to work very hard late in the 4th quarter to hold onto the win.

The Lakers trailed by 24 with less than 8 minutes to go, but pulled to 104-102 on two free throws by Kobe Bryant with 40 seconds left.

But then Paul Pierce made two free throws, then blocked a jumper by Sasha Vujacic, and James Posey made two free throws with 10 seconds left to end it.

Now the series moves to Los Angeles for the next three games, with Game 3 on Tuesday, June 10th, at 9pm ET.
