The Los Angeles Lakers will try and recover from Thursday’s collapse and win their final home game of the season on Sunday night.  The Lakers had a golden chance to even the NBA Finals on Thursday but they blew a 24 point lead that they may be thinking about for a long time.  The Celtics were down 18 points at the half but rallied in the third quarter and won 97-91. Paul Pierce had 20 points while Ray Allen added 19. It was a historic collapse for the Lakers and now they must fight even more history.  No team in NBA Finals history has ever come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the title. SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Celtics on the Road.
