Here's my comments from my blog about game 5. The Constant Cynic: Lakers Win Game Five 103-98

Once again the Celtics were down, but this time, they couldn't pull it out. It was mostly the same stuff as game four except for the part about the Celtics winning. The Lakers came out strong obliterating the Celtics in the first quarter. They came out in the second quarter looking horrible and the Celtics started to make their comeback.

By the third quarter, the Celtics had taken a brief lead. We saw the Lakers start off great, but end with bad defense. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen were going through like water. It looked like the Lakers would blow another huge lead. After a few foul shots and an amazing steal by Kobe Bryant, the Lakers wrapped up the game. The steal by Bryant completely turned around the free-fall.

Pierce was dribbling down the court and Bryant from behind him knocked the ball forward to a teammate who passed to him and he easily got a dunk. It could have been considered a foul, but that's not the point.

For another games, the Lakers were plagued by inconsistent play. Sometimes they are good and other times they look like the Bobcats. They need to have better defense if they want the chance to win another game. Bryant was part of this. He started off making everything, but then missed everything after that. The series so far was unlike what I expected. Instead of an epic series, I saw a lackluster play from both teams that really lacked everything that makes a good series.
