With the Lakers taking a 99-91 win and holding a comfortable 3-1 series lead, LA coach Phil Jackson is one win away from surpassing Celtics legend Red Auerbach for the most NBA rings as a head coach. Jackson chose his words carefully when asked about the significance of getting another ring. "Talking about futuristic things kind of throws me for a loop," Jackson said.
"I do know it is a momentous thing.u00a0 We still have a big battle game to win before we can do anything."
