Lakers 108 – Jazz 105:  The Lakers are moving on the Western Conference finals and they even gave Kobe Bryant some extra time to rest his ailing back, he didn’t look like he needed it yesterday though.

The league MVP finished the game with 34 points, 12 of which came in the all important fourth quarter.

The Lakers were up big for most of the game. They led by 19 at halftime and 16 after the third but in the fourth quarter the Jazz came back to close the game. With 1 minute left the Jazz had pulled it to within 2 points but the Lakers held on for the close 108-105 win.

The Jazz almost managed to tie it.

Close isn’t good enough though.

Celtics 69 – Cavs 74: The Celtics are really confusing me right now. How does a team go from being the best road team in the league to not winning one road game in the playoffs yet. I don’t know but Cavs continued their road woes last night by beating the Celtics at home 74-69.

Normally I wouldn’t think that 74 points would be enough to get a win in the playoffs but apparently it is and when your star scores a good chunk of that it helps. LeBron James had 32 points in this one to lead the Cavs to the win.
