Lakers and Celtics, Game 7. Magical words to the ears of NBA and TV execs for sure. The Lakers rebounded from their back to back losses in Boston with a statement victory Tuesday night, leading throughout the night, and thumping Boston 89-67 behind a total team effort. The Celtics now have to focus on the health of Kendrick Perkins heading into the deciding game 7, as Perkins went out early Tuesday night with a knee injury and did not return.
