This is a live in game blog with quarter by quarter highlights…Enjoy!

Energy is amazing in New York as the Jets falter and give us false hope. The fans of the great apple turn to a team it has turn their back on for a decade. The Knicks are expected to extinguish bad feelings and disappointment created by the Jets losing during crunch time and the Yankees missing out on Cliff Lee. What better team to take it out on then a Boston rival. The greatest city …

First Quarter: USA 25, Russia 25
With 7 minutes left in the first quarter, Team USA holds a two point advantage.  Kevin Durant starts off strong with five or Team USA’s eight points.  Sasha Kaun (sorry Shooter and all other Kansas fans) might be the worst center in the FIBA championships.  He already has missed two wide open lay-ups.
6:30 left in the first. Sergey Bykov hits his second three of the half giving Russia a 9-8 lead.  Team USA battles right back with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook drawing fouls.  A …

Lakers 83, Celtics 79 (Lakers win series & championship 4-3)
Call it an ugly game, call it a sloppy game, call it whatever you want – I call it a classic.

The Los Angeles Lakers were able to overcome a fourth quarter deficit while trailing for most of the game to pick up the 2010 NBA championship, the 16th title in franchise history, with an 83-79 victory over the Boston Celtics. The Lakers did exactly what Phil Jackson said was supposed to happen after Game 5 – they went home and won …

Lakers 1 million, Celtics 0

Okay, okay, the actual score was Lakers- 89, Celtics 67. This game was ugly, early and often. The Celtics came in with a chance at winning a second ring in three years. The Lakers had a lot of pressure facing them in this game, but you would have never known it considering this game was over at intermission.
Boston scored 31 points in the first half, while the Lakers scored 51. I give the exact score because if it had been a 20 point Laker lead where …

Celtics 92, Lakers 86 (Celtics lead 3-2)

We knew before this game that each team would be fighting for their life trying to avoid being on the brink of elimination. There was only one team that deserved to win this game, and the other team truly deserves to be on the brink of elimination.

Both teams came out of the gate full of enthusiasm. They both had urgency and purpose, but that lead to many rushed plays and a ton of turnovers. The Celtics came out aiming to beat the Lakers with …

Celtics 96, Lakers 89 (Series tied 2-2)

I feel like I’ve written a wrap up very similar to this one before. Oh wait, that’s because I have, haha. In the Suns-Lakers Western Conference series, the Suns were able to steal a couple victories away. This was largely in part to the play of the Suns’ reserves such as Goran Dragic and Jared Dudley. Well tonight, the Celtics capitalized on the Lakers reserve weakness with a heavy dose of Nate Robinson and Glen “Big Baby” Davis.
Kobe Bryant scored 33 points and Pau …

Lakers 91, Celtics 84 (Lakers lead 2-1)
Say what you want about Derek Fisher, but he was a huge reason that the Lakers won, even after three replay reviews tainted the game (in my opinion). But more on that later. The Celtics came out hot right from the tip, and looked like they were as focused as ever coming off of their Game 2 victory. One Phil Jackson timeout later, and the Lakers had a 26 to 17 lead. Through the second quarter, the Lakers hit cruise control and headed into …
