Lakers hold on, top Celtics 88-87 in OT

(AP Photo/Charles Krupa)

BOSTON (AP) Paul Pierce's shot rimmed out in the final seconds of overtime, and Pau Gasol knew the game wasn't over yet. The ball bounced to Ray Allen, who gave it a two-handed push back toward the basket.

"That shot that Ray Allen took was good, in my opinion," Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike Brown said. "But Pau did not stop playing until he heard the horn, and he came up with the big block."

Gasol had 25 points, 14 rebounds and a key block of Allen's putback attempt at the overtime buzzer Thursday night and the Lakers held on to beat the Celtics 88-87. Kobe Bryant scored 27 points and Andrew Bynum had 16 points and 17 boards for Los Angeles, which snapped a two-game losing streak.
