2010 NBA Finals - Lakers vs Boston Celtics Game 3 Recap Fisher Clutch Shots

"Derek, he's our vocal leader. He's the guy that pulls everybody together and is always giving positive reinforcement," Lakers guard Kobe Bryant(notes) said after Fisher made five baskets in the final period to lead Los Angeles to a 91-84 victory Tuesday night over the Boston Celtics and a 2-1 lead in the NBA finals.
Bryant scored 29 points and Fisher had 16, including 11 in the fourth quarter after Boston cut a 17-point first-half lead to one point.
Game 4 is Thursday night in Boston, and a Lakers victory would put them within one win of avenging the loss to their longtime rivals in the 2008 finals - not to mention the eight other times the Celtics have won an NBA title at the Lakers' expense.
"Our thoughts are really just still on how disappointed we are, or were, losing that second game on our home court. I think that had more of our attention and focus than what happened in '08," Fisher said. "We didn't doubt our ability to win here. ... We understand when you want to be the best, you have to win wherever, whenever."
Bryant had 25 points after three quarters, but he did not score for the first 10 minutes of the fourth. That's when Fisher took over, hitting four out of five Lakers baskets to help them reclaim the home-court advantage they lost when the Celtics won Game 2 in L.A.

This looks worse than uploaded Finals footage from 1980. HD era, man, cmon. Too bad because this would otherwise be an important recap.

I am a great 3 point shooter, like ray allen. I just played a game where I was 1-7 on threes and made a couple bad passes. Last game I was 0-5 on threes. I am in a slump so I know what its like, but i plan to practice to get better.

[@tigerjonn]

Well since im a REAL sports fan, and since im not such a bullshiting celtics fan, i could even be man enough to admit, RAY ALLEN didnt not deserve most of those fouls in game 1. JUST like kobe didnt deserve most of those fouls in game 2 and 4. and pertty much, you admitted, that refs control the game. NBA has become nothing more then the WWF. Goin for the WWF championship.

[@tigerjonn]

@CELTICS2010NBACHAMPS LOL celtics arent going nowhere... And every single celtics win had atleast 3 bullshit calls against the lakers in the last 4 mins of the 4th quarter... WITHOUT the refs bailing the celtics out, lakers wouldve won in 5 games.
