BOSTON -- As the Lakers went through their pregame routine Thursday night before Game 4 of the NBA Finals, special assistant Chuck Person took a short break from working with Pau Gasol to absorb the Garden mayhem and take the local pulse.
"It feels different," he said.

A little less boisterous. A lot more tense. Game 3 had done that to Beantown, the Lakers win on their parquet floor making the most maniacal of fans wonder if they were mad for believing this band of oldies-but-goodies could actually fell these defending champions.
Nearly three hours later, the Celtics had brought it all back.
Boston -- the city and the team -- recaptured its hope with a 96-89 win. And if ever there was a way to tap into the psyche of a working man's town at the most opportune of times, it was by outworking their way to a 2-2 series tie.
