Kobe seals game five, force game six

Filed Under: NBA, basketball    by: admin

Minnesota alumni and hero Kevin Garnett will have to play a game six to bring home his first NBA championship to his new team, the Boston Celtics. Kobe Bryant, who the Celtics had shut down most of the series, scored 25 points, and Lamar Odom 20 points, in game five to create a 103-98, five-point road upset to keep the series alive on Sunday.

So now it is back to Boston, where the Celtics will enjoy a home-court advantage for Game Six and have the chance to win the NBA Title in front of a home crowd. The Celtics laid it out to attempt to close down the series, however, and only a CAT5e might be able to detect where things went wrong.

Paul Pierce led all scorers with 38 points, Ray Allen had 16, and Garnett scored 13 points along with 14 rebounds, but got into foul trouble against the Lakers’ Pau Gasol, limiting his effectiveness. Still, with the chance to end the series and win in front of their home crowd, Celtics fans must be excited at the prospect of a Game Six.
