Led by Leon Powe's 21 points in 15 minutes, the Celts hung on for a 108-102 victory to go up 2-0 in the Finals. Now the teams head to Los Angeles for 3 games and the pressure is squarely on the Lakers. LA has to win 3 in a row at home or be forced to win the final 2 games of the series in Boston. Even though the team that won the first game of the last 5 Finals between LA and Boston has gone on to lose the series, the Celtics are undefeated in NBA Finals when leading 2-0 while the Lakers have never won a Championship after being down 0-2 in the Finals.

Definitely a feel-good performance from Powe that night. Stories like his and Lester's, combined with championship appearances by the Sox, Pats and Celtics, only serve to add on to the great era of sports in which Bostonian fans currently live. Not only are our teams winning, but we've got guys that are creating Hallmark moments left and right.
By the way, great "junk in the face" picture of Powe you've got there. Nothing says momentum changer more than a dunk and the old crotch insult.
