Celtics Starters Dominate to Take NBA Finals Series Lead 3-2

Three of the Big 4 (Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen) had huge games for the Boston Celtics, leading them to the Game 3 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, giving them a 3-2 series advantage as they head back to Los Angeles for Game 6.  Pierce's play was reminiscent to his dominance in the 2008 NBA Finals, as went off for his series high 27 points.  This led them to a 92-86 victory.  The Lakers, however, didn't go down without a fight and sharp shooting from superstar, Kobe Bryant.  He couldn't miss in the third quarter, and end up scoring 38 points, but it wasn't enough, and he didn't really get much help from his teammates.  Forward Kevin Garnett helped out Pierce with 18 points and hauling down 10 rebounds, and Rondo contributed 18 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds.

If the Celtics continue their intensity and tenacious defense the series will be over in Game 6.  The Lakers will have to come together, shoot better, and guys like Pau Gasol and Derek Fisher will have to step up and help Bryant, to force Game 7.  Game 6 is set for Tuesday.  Will the Celtics be World Champs, or will the Lakers win to play on?
