Thriller in Boston

Last night, Boston Celtics who are second in the east took on the Charlotte Bobcats 9th in the east and just out of the playoffs at the moment, went head to head in a barn burner going into double overtime. The Celtics came out on top 111-109 complements of a 3 from Ray Allen, who seemed to somehow find himself open behind the arc alot in the game, with two seconds left. Ray Allen went 5-13 behind the arc with 22 points in the game and you could say he was the player of the game because of his huge shots. He not only hit the game winner but also hit a 3 to tie the game in the first overtime and kept it going. Paul Pierce also had a great game shooting fifty percent from the field and having 32 points. In my opinion Paul Pierce is one of the most underrated players in the NBA and should get more hype in the MVP race. One reason i think he doesnt though is because he has such a good supporting cast around him. One way the Bobcats hurt themselves was only getting to the freethrow line 4 times and going 5-7 while the Celtics got there often shooting 18-26. The Bobcats Raja Bell also got a very good look at the end of the second overtime to win the game but it just barely rimmed out.
