The Laker game tonight will be very tough. The Lakers are playing their best, and the Celtics are on the second night of a back to back and the 4th game in 5 nights on the road.
In Boston the Celtics toyed with the Lakers, but Bynum got in early foul trouble and was no factor. Perkins had probably his best game of the season.
Then again, the Celtics have showed great heart all year. Last night's game in Utah was the type they should have lost. Boston was tired and didn't play their usual suffocating defense. Utah was fired up after getting blown out in LA and was shooting an amazing percentage. The Jazz are a strong home team. Still, Boston came back and won.
Tonight's game should be fierce.
