Glen Davis scored nine of his 18 points in the fourth quarter and Nate Robinson also came off the bench to finish with 12 points as Boston beat Los Angeles 96-89 in game four of the NBA finals.

Paul Pierce had 19 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Celtics, who used a balanced scoring attack to beat the Lakers on Thursday and level the best-of-seven championship series at two games apiece.

With the win the Celtics avoided falling into the to-date impossible 3-1 deficit and assured they will be heading back to Los Angeles for a game six. Game five is tomorrow in Boston.

No NBA team has ever come back from 3-1 down in finals history to win the title.
