Guest analyst Mike Dunleavy is the former coach of four NBA teams namely Clippers, Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Portland Trail Blazers. He said that Lakes bag game 2 because of Defense and Derek Fisher. The last quarter of the game was when Fisher was so impressive.

Fisher made three big ones at the final stretch to win one for the team. He has the ability to play through tough situation. Los Angeles Lakers really played up on defense especially against Ray Allen who made 8 three pointers in the last game. He came up short in this game and it was attributed to the defense of Lakers.

In Game 2 Lakers let Boston have a tempo however in this game didn’t get a chance to get on the open court. Rajon Ron wasn’t putting in the rim and make passes like what he did in game 2. Celtics didn’t have time to get their game going and put on shot. The only negative thing with Lakers is the fact that they drift away from Gasol. It was hard to ignore Gasol because of its length and very timely footwork. The Lakers would want to give him the ball especially his field-goal percentage. For Boston, they need to have a formula like defend better, push the ball, control the tempo. They also need their three big players to work — Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Allen.
