The Lakers are facing some terrible odds in the NBA Finals, but last night they proved that they're in it to win it. Kobe and the crew pulled off a win against the Celtics in Game Three...87-81. League MVP Kobe Bryant scored 36 points and had 7 rebounds...helping the team avoid a total blowout.
But despite the win, we have to talk about those free throw shots. What the ....? Kobe went to the line 18 times and missed 7 of them. After the game, he was able to laugh about it...especially since he was pumped that they won.
The seats in the Coliseum were filled with fans ready to see a victory, and those die-hards had shelled out a lot of money to be there. With nose-bleed tickets selling for thousands of dollars, they wanted their money's worth. Celebrities also turned out including David Beckham, Eddie Murphy, Steven Spielberg and of course, good ol' Jack. Hell, they're the only ones who can afford those court-side seats! Some ticket agencies had those court-side tickets going for as much as $40,000 a piece. I'm still having a hard time thinking about paying that much money for a ticket. Let's just say, my wife would not be happy.Last night's win has guaranteed the Lakers two more games, both at the Staples Center. Game 4 is tomorrow, and with the Celtics leading the series 2-1, the Lakers better keep the momentum going!
