After Game 4 of the NBA finals, the Boston Celtics talked about luck. The Lakers talked about losing. Sam Jones' desperation, falling-down shot that somehow managed to go in was the difference in another close game, this time an 89-88 Boston victory. The series, once controlled by the Lakers, was now even at 2-2 and headed back to the Forum. "I guess if the Good Lord wanted you to win, you'd win. ... Maybe we deserved to lose," said Jerry West. "Luck won out--no doubt about it. Those losses are the toughest kind to take when you have it won and it goes the other way," said John Havlicek. Like most high-pressure games, there was controversy near the end. One Laker turnover was caused by an aggressive Boston double team or a foul that wasn't called, depending on your point of view. Another dispute centered on whether Elgin Baylor was out of bounds in the closing seconds. That call turned the ball back to Boston for Jones' final shot. --Keith Thursby
