Big Baby continues to step up in the playoffs

With the clock running down, the threat of being down 3-1 in the series hanging in the balance, who would you give the last shot to?

For those of you who said "Pierce, Allen, House" and maybe even "Rondo", think again. Remember also, folks, I said last SHOT.

There is 11 seconds left on the clock, the ball goes in to Pierce, who well all expect to shoot. Per usual, he stands facing the dead center of the hoop. He holds, as the rest of the team stands around. With time running out, he makes a move, cuts into the lane and is denied the easy shot. With about 2 seconds on the clock, he passes the ball up to Glen Davis, who drains a 18 ft shot as time expires. Basket counts, Celtics win.

On top of his game winning basket, in 33 minutes he scored 21 points and 6 rebounds. This young man from LSU is displaying the maturity of a great future player, and a developing talent, honing his skills on the grandest stage of them all. He is averaging 15 points a game in this round, on top of 18 in the first round. His shooting percentage is a solid 0.569, and he has played an average of 32 minutes these conference semi-finals.

On top of his production, his intensity is growing and emerging through his playing. For the last few minutes of the game he was all business; going 5 for 6, sinking a free throw, despite 2 turn overs and a missed free throw.

His emotions took over after the shot, in a hilarious scene where he barreled over a young Magics fan standing on the court. Davis paid it no mind. He was met by a flooding Celtic bench, and the series dead-locked at 2-2.
