| Gasol little more than a spectator to Kobe show |

| p>Gasol was little more than a spectator of the Kobe Bryant show in Game 5 of the NBA finals on Sunday night. And if he doesn't become part of the offense again, he might be watching something else: another Boston Celtics celebration at the Los Angeles Lakers' expense. The forward from Spain either couldn't get himself involved or the Lakers wouldn't involve him. Gasol got only four shots in the first half and finished with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting in the Celtics' 92-86 victory that gave |

| Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Paul Pierce netted 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field, helping Boston to a 45-39 halftime lead on the Los Angeles Lakers in the pivotal Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Celtics, coming off a series-tying 96-89 win on Thursday, are continuing their attempt for a second title in three years, having beaten the Lakers in six games in 2008. The Lakers have won 14 straight playoff games when the series is tied, but will need to rally in the second half to continue |

We're certainly going to try.'' The idea of having three scoring threats hasn't quite worked out in the first four games against the Lakers, as one after the other of the Big Three - |
| Lakers center Bynum says he'll play in Game 5 |

BOSTON (AP) -Andrew Bynum is altogether clear on this: He'll play in Game 5 of the NBA finals. Beyond that, the key to the Los Angeles Lakers' interior defense - and perhaps the team's championship chances - can't make any promises. ``I'm 100 percent sure that I'm playing come Sunday,'' the Lakers' 7-foot center said Saturday. Bynum had fluid drained from his right knee after Boston evened the series 2-2 with a 96-89 win Thursday night. He was encouraged that the swelling had not return |

Twiss said Allen was given permission to miss the session on the off day before Sunday night's Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers. No other details were available. Allen's son, Walker, was diagnosed with diabetes during the 2008 finals and Allen nearly missed Game 6 when he flew home separately from the team to be with his son.Copyright © 2005 The Associated |

The late John Wooden at UCLA and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski are the only other coaches who have accomplished that feat. ``I'm happy for him either way,'' said Los Angeles Lakers guard Shannon Brown, who played for Izzo. ``He deserves everything he gets.

| Boston's bench helps Celtics even NBA Finals |

| Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Glen Davis led a charge from Boston's bench in the fourth quarter and the Celtics downed the Los Angeles Lakers, 96-89, to even the NBA Finals after four games. Davis finished with 18 points, nine of which came in the fourth quarter. Nate Robinson also came off the bench for 12 points, half of which were in the last period. It essentially creates a best-of-three series. Game 5 is Sunday night again at TD Garden. After that, the series will end in Los Angeles. On Tu |

| Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Powered by Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers have grabbed a 45-42 edge on the Celtics at halftime in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The Lakers hold a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series thanks to Tuesday's 91-84 win, backed by 29 points from Bryant and a strong fourth quarter from backcourt mate Derek Fisher. Bryant has 12 points at the half, one less than Gasol. Andrew Bynum started for the Lakers despite a balky right knee, but he wasn't much of a fac |
| Fisher is unlikely barometer for Lakers |
Thu Jun 10 10:36:07 2010 EST |
| Boston, MA (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Lakers are a perfect fit for Hollywood. The franchise sports a ton of star power. Kobe Bryant is one of the best to ever play the game, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom are two of the most skilled big men in today's NBA, and Phil Jackson is the most successful coach in the history of professional sports. But, if you were looking for the barometer of the Lakers' success, it resides in the backcourt -- next to Bryant. On paper veteran Derek Fisher is the weak |
| Lakers know they need better ball movement |
Wed Jun 9 17:12:00 2010 EST |
BOSTON (AP) -Pau Gasol wants the ball. That's no surprise. All big guys think their team should throw it into the post more often. But perhaps the Los Angeles Lakers should make sure he gets those touches, and while they're at it give a few more to Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom, too. The Lakers had stretches of good ball movement Tuesday night in Game 3 of the NBA finals, but also one quarter where the ball kept getting stuck and forced Kobe Bryant to hoist up too many shots.
