The Lakers started by losing Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals versus Phoenix Suns on Sunday night. They are now leading 2-1.
Then The Boston Celtics was out played by the Orlando Magic in overtime tonight. The Celtics lead the series 3 games to 1.
You would have thought that the Boston Celtics, who embarrassed the Magic on Saturday, would have closed the Series at Game 4. But my guess is that they too wanting to prolong the Series after seeing the Lakers lose a game.
It's too bad. With the aging personel, the Celtics would have welcomed a chance to relax for a couple of days before they head to the Finals.
But give credit to the Magics though, they fought hard and made the correct plays at the appropriate time. And with some missed shots from the Celtics, of course! 
You could sort of tell the score of 86 a piece after regulation that there would really well be a Game 5 in the East.
The Celtics were just not playing defense the way they played Saturday. It's quite a big difference. Seems to me that wanted to play a Game 5.
Either ways, it's now history. There shall not be a sweep in the 2010 NBA Conference Finals; just like tonight we have the first overtime in this year's NBA Finals.
Looking forward to the Boston Celtics closing out in Orlando on Wednesday! I shall be glued to the television like I did tonight. See you 8:30 PM ET!
