With three defenders near him, Paul Pierce (above) made a fallaway, 21-foot jumper at the buzzer to lift the Washington Wizards over the Atlanta Hawks 103-101 on Saturday night, despite playing without John Wall and after letting a 21-point lead evaporate.
As he left the court after giving the Wizards a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series, Pierce was asked whether he called “Bank!” on the winner.
“I called, `Game!”‘ Pierce declared.
