Despite Jackson's 47-0 Streak, Celtics Have Come Back Before

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

LOS ANGELES -- It's over. In fact, you'd think longtime Los Angeles resident Jackson Browne would be called upon to sing his song "The Load-Out.''



"Pack it up and tear it down,'' the song goes about the roadies who do just that after a concert.



Don't know if the guys who clean up after the NBA Finals also call themselves roadies, but the curtain has fallen. OK, they'll still play at least three more games, but this show, in reality, is finished.



Legendary coach Phil Jackson is 47-0 when his team wins the first game of a playoff series. And on Thursday night at the Staples Center, his Lakers won Game 1 of the Finals, 102-89 over Boston.



So that means series over, right?



Wait a minute. Stop loading those trucks. Some other statistics have just been dug up.
