The Celtics, who were led by Isaiah Thomas’ 24 points and Evan Turner’s 20 points, had the 27-24 lead after the first quarter but their defence fell off in the second quarter where the Lakers outscored them, 34-29, to grab the slim 58-56 lead at halftime. Amir Johnson leads in blocks with 1.2 per game.

Canada decries mass execution in Saudi Arabia
Of its embassy was attacked. “Enough is enough”, said a person authorized to convey Saudi thinking on the condition of anonymity. Already on Saturday there were public calls for Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to shut the embassy down again.
Me: “Sometimes when our team plays against another team in important games over and over again, we really want to beat them every time”.
Unlike Abdul-Jabbar, Bryant has not received any public displays of gifts at his request. It might sound like an unlikely end for a guy who once nicknamed himself “Black Mamba”, but Bryant is hardly the assassin he once was.
