PAUL PIERCE WIZARDS VS. HAWKS 2015

The Wizards had blown a 20-plus-point lead late in this one and were hanging on for dear life at home. Pierce came off a screen and banked it in from a few feet behind the elbow, fading away and falling to the ground as Dennis Schroder, Kent Bazemore and Kyle Korver all closed in. But the shot, which gave Washington a 2-1 series advantage and its last win in a series it would go on to lose 4-2, plays second fiddle to one of The Truth’s great declarations. When asked by Chris Broussard if he had called bank, Pierce had just three words: “I called game.”
