I was listening to the game online and seriously thought the Lakers were done in Game 5. They had yet another 20+ point lead in the 1st half and blew it. The lead came close for the Celtics many times late in the game, but ultimately LA pulled off the victory and scored over 100.
This seemed like positive news for the Lakers. In the past, they had the game won, but then blew it. This victory was a symbolic over the hump win. I'm thinking they might be able to pull off winning two straight games to clinch the title.
