In Game 2 of the NBA finals, the L.A. Lakers almost erased a 24-point deficit against the Celtics, but fell short and lost to Boston (see a few entries down on this blog).

Tonight, with the Lakers trying to even the series at two games all in Game 4, the Celtics did them one better. Boston successfully overcame a 24-point deficit and won the game, 97-91, to take a 3-1 series lead (article). The lion's share of the comeback stemmed from a 21-3 run by the Celtics to close out the third quarter (play-by-play sheet).
