I guess it was a bad sign when the Globe ran a stylized picture of Sasha Vujacic. Sasha Fierce talked about not wanting to wear green because he hated Boston…
Yes, the Lakers prevailed, 92-83. And yes, there was some sloppy play — did you hear Jeff Van Gundy screaming about the second unit not getting Ray Allen enough touches? — but don’t be too down about it.
This game was tied at 81 with three minutes to go.
So the win streak ends at 19 games. Nobody should concede the title to L.A. yet. It’s safe to say it meant more for the Laker psyche than it did for the Celtics.
Boston’s out west until next week.
Cool touch to put those snowflake patches underneath the NBA logos on the jerseys. And nice shoes KG. Red and green. Festive.
Merry Christmas.
