Derek Fisher saved LA Lakers with 16 points most of those are fired on the last quarter. Kobe Bryant had 29 points, 4 assists and 7 rebounds, helping the Los Angeles Lakers take a 91-84 win over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night Game 3 of the NBA finals.
Lamar Odom had eight points and the Lakers seized control late in the first quarter, helped by some awful Boston shooting. The Celtics went without a field goal for nearly 6 minutes spanning the quarters as Los Angeles built a 17-point lead.
Kevin Garnett scored 25 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds for the Celtics, but Ray Allen is limited to only two points and Paul Pierce were off to miserable starts but finished with 15 points.
Allen, who scored 32 points and made an NBA finals-record eight 3-pointers in Boston's Game 2 victory, missed all five shots and was scoreless. Pierce was 1 of 8 for five points and had three fouls.
It was a quick turnaround for the teams after the long flight from Los Angeles following the Celtics' 103-94 victory Sunday. Lakers coach Phil Jackson put his team through a long shootaround Tuesday afternoon, and it appeared to be paying off.
Game 4 is Thursday night.
