When the Los Angeles Lakers dropped Game 2 of the 2010 NBA Finals at the Staples Center to the Celtics, they knew they were going to have to win in enemy territory. It wasn't going to be an easy task, given how much of a home advantage the Boston crowd provides at the TD Garden - especially during playoff basketball.

Without Fisher's heroics in the 4th quarter of Game 3, when he scored 11 of his 16 points, the Celtics would probably have lost the series in 6 games given how dominant the Celtics were in the 2 Boston games that remained. He played 41 minutes and contributed with his defense in a manner that box scores will never be able to show.
