Celtics Storm Back From 24-Point Deficit to Beat Lakers 97-91 in Game 4

LOS ANGELES - In their comeback season, the Celtics saved the biggest one of all for the NBA finals.
Boston rallied from a 24-point deficit and beat the Los Angeles Lakers 97-91 on Thursday night to take a commanding 3-1 lead in this history-rich series and move within one victory of a 17th championship that seemed impossible a year ago. A rivalry between the league's two most storied franchises - with some of the game's biggest names and biggest moments - now has its biggest rally.
No team had ever overcome more than a 15-point deficit in the first quarter, and although the league doesn't have a record for the largest rally in a finals game, the Celtics staged one that will forever be remembered in the annals of Celtics-Lakers lore.
