Game 2's fourth quarter makes this even sweeter. We finished off the historic comeback that the Lakers couldn't.
Tomorrow morning will be the first time that we don't have to defend ourselves after a win. Finally we should get some respect.
Yes, it's amazing how the series has been a mirror of itself:
Game 1 in boston:
close, hard fought, home team exectues down the stretch and wins
Game 2 in bosont:
boston dominates early, looks invincible, gives it away down the stretch to a tight game
game 3 in L.A.:
close, hard fought, home team executes down the stretch and wints
game 4 in L.A.:
L.A. dominates early, looks invincible, gives it away down the stretch to a tight game.
Amazing symmetry, but the recurring theme is that in each case, the C's were better than the Lakers in each game:
Game 1, Boston won by ten, but in game 3, L.A.'s close, hard fought victory, they only closed it out by seven.
Game 2, it came down to a 2 point lead, but boston was able to stem the comeback and win. In game 4, it again was a comeback to the wire, but this time the c's did the extra to complete the victory. So in all four games, the C's were better in each game than their counterpart did in the correlating games.
