Wow, thanks for posting that. As I said I turned this off when Pierce missed and then the Celts fouled with 4.7 seconds left. I thought Charlotte would shoot foul shots so there was no way for a comeback but they weren't in the penalty.

The play is eeriely similar to the Celts last second win vs the Pistons in the East finals years ago when Bird made a big steal of an inbounds pass and had the presence of mind to hit a cutting DJ for the winning hoop. In this play Allen anticipates and gets himself squared off for the 3 and Pierce ala Bird gets him the ball. Great, great play.
