NBA Finals Live Stream: Lakers vs Celtics Game 5 Online for Free - The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers are headed to a pivotal Game 5 of the NBA finals, the latest big moment in basketball’s biggest rivalry.

The Celtics can move a win away from an 18th championship, and a 10th in 12 meetings with the Lakers. Game 5 is Sunday, and the Lakers expect to have center Andrew Bynum back after he played only 12 minutes in Game 4 because of a sore right knee. Kobe Bryant can inch closer to a fifth title, a chance to further cement his legacy.

That’s because of the Celtics, who guarded him well in the fourth quarter of their 96-89 victory Thursday that evened the series at two games apiece, and simply won’t allow him to be as spectacular as he was against Phoenix in the previous round.
