With no time on the clock it wasn't Ray Allen, nor Paul Pierce to shoot the big pass it was Ronald "Big Baby" Glen Davis who had a knack for the dramatic. When the last play was being set up with 11 seconds left, it looked as if Pierce was going to shoot a forced bad shot, but he was able to hit Baby perfectly with a great pass who drained the shot with all the confidence in the world, then proceeded to run over a kid and cause a level 1 earthquake in Orlando. Not only was that a huge shot because it won the game, it also ties this series up and swings home court advantage back to Boston.
To be honest, I don't know how the Celtics won this game. They didn't play their sharpest, then they went through streaks where the couldn't hit a shot, but a win is a win. The one thing that is starting to worry me is Kendrick Perkins left shoulder, he had offseason surgery on it, and seems to have aggravated it and with an already depleted frontcourt Perkins is a key piece of the Celtics run. This has to be a crushing blow to the Magics mindset and hopefully that will affect them come Tuesday.
Some quick facts about last game:
• Glen Davis finished with 21 points in the win. He had averaged 10.6 points in the previous three games of the series.
• Paul Pierce led all scorers with 27 points (shot 9-of-15 from the field), and Boston improved to 4-0 this postseason when he shoots better than 40 percent from the field.
• Dwight Howard had 23 points and 17 rebounds for his 20th career playoff double-double.
