Lakers dominating Boston in Game 6

Basketball Betting Lines

06/15/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Lakers aren't about to give in to the Celtics and are just 24 game minutes from forcing a Game 7 in the NBA Finals.

Kobe Bryant has 15 points at halftime and the Lakers are holding a commanding 51-31 lead over Boston in Game 6 at Staples Center.

It's been domination in nearly every facet thus far for the Lakers. Ron Artest has 10 points for the Lakers, who have a 30-13 rebounding advantage and a 15-0 margin in bench points.

The Celtics, going for their record 18th championship and second in three years after topping the Lakers in six games in 2008, were led by Ray Allen's 13 points. But Boston is shooting just 34.1 percent from the field against the defending champions.

A deciding Game 7 would be Thursday, again at Staples Center. When winning Game 6, the Lakers are 26-3 all-time in playoff series.

Coming off a 92-86 victory Tuesday night in Boston, the Celtics fell behind late in the first quarter, a period in which they lost their starting center.

Kendrick Perkins appeared to injure his right knee midway through the first quarter. Perkins was going for an offensive rebound with Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum draped all over him. Bryant was also involved in the play when Perkins seemed to land awkwardly on his right knee. He was helped off the floor with 5:30 left in opening quarter. The Celtics brought Perkins to the locker room and he was due to have x-rays.

Allen's three-pointer provided Boston with a 12-10 lead, but Bryant took over by netting the first six points during an ensuing 8-0 run. Pau Gasol capped it with a fast-break layup. Pau Gasol's inside bucket moved the lead to 28-18 in the final minute of the period, and the Celtics failed to get off a shot at the end of the quarter.

It only got worse for the Celtics. Sasha Vujacic drilled a three-pointer from the left wing to start the second quarter and LA's aggressive offensive continued to take charge.

Gasol ran the floor for a put-back layup with seven minutes left, providing a 40-23 margin. Vujacic added another three and Jordan Farmar rolled in for a breakaway slam after a Gasol steal, making it a 20-point lead.

The Lakers continued to push the ball and played good rotation defense, limiting the Celtics to 2-of-10 shooting from three-point range.
