Behind Paul Pierce's clutch three-pointer (above) with less than a minute to go and Kevin Garnett's 27 points and 11 rebounds, the Celtics stun the Heat tonight in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Miami, 94-90, to take a 3-2 series lead.
Pierce, who shot just 6 for 19 in the whole game, rose up and hit a dagger into the hearts of the Miami Heat, which will now have to win Game 6 in Boston just to force a Game 7 back in Miami Saturday night. LeBron James had 30 points and 13 rebounds, while Dwayne Wade scored 27, but the Celtics' defense was outstanding all night long in holding Miami to just 39% shooting.
Game 6 is Thursday night in Boston, where the Celtics will try to eliminate the Heat, and advance to the NBA Finals.
