The Lakers led the Celtics 35-14 after the first quarter of Game 4 in the 2008 NBA Finals — the largest first-quarter lead in NBA Finals history. In the third quarter, the Lakers extended the lead to 24 points.

But the Celtics worked themselves back into the game and led by three points with about 30 seconds left. Ray Allen then drove to the basket for a layup to seal the win for the C's.
