Celtics 103 - Lakers 94

The Boston Celtics have tied up the NBA Finals with a decisive victory over Los Angeles in as exciting a basketball game as I've seen in a long time (as long, at least, as since some of the 2009 playoff games against the Bulls and the Magic).

The Celtics trailed early by 5 points, but took a 14-point lead in the Second Quarter. LA fought back and took another 5 point lead in the Third Quarter, but Boston stayed in the game and made a final push in the closing minutes to win the game by 9 points. In the course of the game, Ray Allen set an NBA record for most three-point shots in a Finals game (eight), and Rajon Rondo was just electric, especially down the stretch.

A good day overall. Initiation (jukai) for a dozen new initiates at the Zen Center this morning. A nice walk on the nice new trail through the Park. Took care of a few chores and then a Celtics victory. Who could ask for anything more?
