The game was pretty much lost for Boston before the 4th quarter when the fouls started mounting up. They lost any kind of rhythm on offense they had and the Lakers D started to crank it up in the 3rd and was air-tight in the 4th. Boston did have some silly fouls in the 4th and got in the penalty with just under 7 minutes left, but they were gonna get there one way or another because they got overboard with the physicality.
