And I live to tell the story. Concerns my harrowing tale of living through a most frightening experience. Almost not around to be able to have watched last evenings' Laker game against the Celtics. On way home from shopping, our car brakes completely went out. Steering loss too and pumping and pumping the brakes produced no brakes use at all. Four way stop once and green light at signal once but not one vehicle in sight. About 6 blocks from home the brakes returned. Why? Master cylinder? Brake fluid loss? Who knows...and who knows why on earth we had clear sailing on those roads with nothing in our way as we breezily sped past? You can question and question but to this writers' belief, a higher power indeed was allowing us to see another Birthday so safely home we came. Towed to garage today & soon we shall know the mystery. But...win or lose, isn't it a lot more fun to win though? On Boston's home court, our Laker team did not come up short..giving us a higher number scoring at each quarter, we won our 3rd.game. Oddity though, Ray Allen in game # 2 made 8 (!) 3 pointers to help his team come over the top (Celtics) yet this last game he made zero. Derek Fisher of the Lakers was the man of the hour this past game for us. He scored 16 points, 11 of them in the fourth quarter! Kobe Bryant scored 29 points and Pau Gasol added 13 points with 10 rebounds.Best news of all is that our players avoided foul trouble that forced some of our best players to the bench in each of the first two games but especially so for the 2nd. game played. This game the players had only 2 fouls during the first half . Very good game for this reporter certainly to watch, counting her own personal blessings . Game # 3 score? Lakers 91, Boston 84. Another game coming up tomorrow night..so tune in Thursday. Babs Wells
