In 2010, the Los Angeles Lakers gained the rematch of the 2008 NBA Finals they had been waiting for when they met the Boston Celtics for the championship.
After taking Game 1 at Staples Center, L.A. lost Game 2 and the home-court advantage, setting up a very important Game 3 in Boston.
For that contest, the Lakers returned to the site where they were embarrassed by 39 points in Game 6 in 2008.
