Pierce helps Celtics rally for 3-1 series lead

 
In the quiet of the stunned Staples Center, Paul Pierce finally peeked at the scoreboard in triumph. Flexing his arms after beating the team he grew up idolizing, Pierce celebrated leading Boston back from an unprecedented deficit to a 97-91 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the NBA finals Thursday night. "It's a dream if I can come out here and win on Sunday," said Pierce, who scored 14 of his 20 points in the second half, when the Celtics erased most of a 24-point deficit. (link)

It didn't always look it, but Rondo's injury must have been bothering him on some level because the team just wasn't clicking with him in the lineup.
