Lot more than just a winning play, the on-goings of this game changed the season for the Celtics. These series of plays changed the 35-14 lead for the Lakers into a 97-91 win for the Celtics in the fourth quarter. This pushed what was believed to be a guaranteed 2-2 series to 3-1 in favour of the Celtics, the largest NBA Finals comeback since 1971.

The second half that tore the Lakers down was punctuated by memorable pays that showcased the greatness of the "Big 3" of the team. The star in my opinion for that game was Ray Allen, whose drive and layup on Sasha Vujacic really sealed the game.
