Andrew Bynum's Resurgence Gives Lakers Hope

Filed under: Celtics, Lakers, NBA Injuries, NBA Playoffs, NBA Finals

LOS ANGELES -- As the saga continues whether Lakers coach Phil Jackson will return next season, it's not out of the question Jackson on Sunday sat on the bench at the Staples Center for the final time.



Not that Jackson specifically noted that to his team following the Game 2 103-94 Finals loss to the Boston Celtics, but the master of motivation did touch on something that pulled no punches.



"P.J. came out and told us it might be the last time we play (in Los Angeles this season),'' Lakers center Andrew Bynum said of the defeat that left the series tied 1-1 with the next three games in Boston. "I think that woke everybody up.''



At least Bynum needs no waking up. There is optimism as the Lakers head to Boston for Games 3, 4 and 5 on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, respectively -- and Bynum is a primary reason why.
