Indiana trailed by 1 point with 12.9 seconds left in regulation when Tinsley intentionally fouled Pierce. As the whistle blew, Pierce knocked Tinsley to the floor with his left forearm. Pierce was called for a technical foul, his second of the game, for an automatic ejection.
Instead of a 4-2 series win, Indy ties the Series.
Game 7 Boston Lost
Pierce was 27 at the time. Un movable contract at the time.
Who was the coach?
Doc Rivers. His first year with Celtics. They won 45 games that year.
The next year they won 33 games. The following year, 24 games.
Then Starphuch magic happens. They win 66 games in 2007-08.
I want some of that magic to happen in MSG!
