"There was a leprechaun in the building"-Tommy Heinsohn

Yes, I unabashedly love Paul Pierce. If I have ever seen fans cause their team to lose a game, it just happened. With NYK up 5 and 7:28 left, Amar'e and Ray got tangled up and Amar'e pushed Ray down. Ray got the foul called on him and was pissed when he got up. In the first half Davis and Ray caught elbows. Davis from Melo and Ray from Jeffries which led to tons of blood. Addendum, Ray's was in the 3rd quarter. So Ray was pissed and those intelligent NYK fans decide to yell "Paul Pierce Sucks." The knicks keep the ball and chauncey makes a 4 point play. NYK up 9. Paul demands the ball, drives hard and attempts a dunk but gets fouled. "PP Sucks" chant continues with him on the line. He makes both. Makes a three. Makes an elbow J. 7 straight for paul and boston is down 2. The whole team is fired up. Boston cranks up the D, multiple airballs from NYK and a shot clock violation. Davis and Rondo make layups with 6'10" Amar'e covering them. If you can't tell already, this was an NBA game that got exciting! 'Melo and Rondo collide and 'Melo gets a little cut on his eye. Ray gets his cut (with a bandage on it) re-opened. Up four with a minute left Paul sticks another elbow J. THE DAGGER! Seriously, the "Paul Pierce Sucks" chant got him fired up. He took over. The celtics decided "WE WANT TO WIN" and played D. The knicks scored 8 points in the 7 and a half minutes after the chant started. 4 points on the initial possession. what was 78-73 NYK, immediately went to 82-73 NYK and ended 96-86 Celtics.
