Let's try for No. 18

The Boston Celtics have defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5, 92-86, and threaten Franchise Championship No. 18. Boston leads the NBA already in Franchise Championships and is looking for more with a 3-2 advantage against L.A. Paul Pierce was the Player of the Game with 28 points. Kevin Garnett also played his heart out by scoring 18 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. He also earned a double-double with his effort. L.A. got up off the ground in the 3rd quarter but could not finish strong enough for the Boston Celtics. Kobe Bryant, during the hot L.A. run in the 3rd, scored all of the Lakers 19 points at one time. Kobe finished with 38 points.

Don't forget to watch Game 6 in Los Angeles at 9/8 PM Central. Will the C's be named Champs? Will the Lakers force Game 7? Stick with Time Now! for the outcome.
