The Los Angeles won game five and have now made this a series once again. If they had lost that game then the Boston Celtics would be the NBA champs. The Boston Celtics lead the best of seven series 3-2. Tonights game is a 9pm start and can be seen on ABC. It's simple if the Boston Celtics win tonight they are the champs, if the Lakers win then there will be a final decisive game on Thursday.

The Celtics weren’t at full strength for Game 5, missing center Kendrick Perkins with a shoulder injury. Whether he’ll play in Game 6 will be a game-time decision, but Boston expects to have shooting guard Ray Allen available. Without Perkins in the lineup I think the Lakers can win tonight. That leaves only Kevin Garnett as Bostons big man scoring option, he has to go up against Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom.
