Big Baby-Glen Davis Game Winning Shot to Even Playoff Series w/ Magic
Huge, huge, huge game winning shot by Glen Davis of the Boston Celtics Sunday night to even the playoff series at 2 games apiece.
Glen Davis Winning Shot – 5/10/09 vs. Orlando Magic
In a game the Celtics appeared to have a leg up throughout, the Magic made a comeback late and even took the lead w/ about 11 seconds left. The Celtics called timeout and lined up a play for anyone not named Davis. Unfortunately, the Magic defense was overplaying Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, who all would’ve been a better choice that Glen “Big Baby” Davis.
With about 2 seconds left, Pierce, w/ no clear shot of his own, fed the ball to Davis on the baseline. Without hesitation, Davis rose and launched about an 18-footer that swished as time expired… Celtics win, Celtics tie series 2-2.
Clutch shot for a reserve, but give the guy credit for doing his job. During the interview following the intense playoff game, Glen Davis told David Aldridge that he practices that shot all the time and he was prepared for it. Aldridge’s leadoff question directly suggested Davis was not an original option the Celtics would’ve normally considered, but Davis took the question in stride and kept his composure. Can you imagine how Ron Artest would have responded to a similar question?
