Smith leads Hawks to Game 3 win (AP)
Published 4/27/2008 at Yahoo! Sports - NBA News
Al Horford got right in Paul Pierce's face, then hopped away to the Hawks bench. The Boston star wasn't too thrilled with the rookie's bravado. Pierce flashed a hand gesture toward Horford and attempted to stare him down. Did Horford back off? Hardly. The Atlanta center thumped his chest and yelled back at Pierce, who was finally dragged back to the Celtics bench.

In retrospect, I don't even know what set me off. It's two days later, and I can't remember for the life of me. Maybe it was the fact that the boys in green were losing, which meant I was frustrated.Is Paul Pierce Throwing Gang Signs?

At first I thought this was something harmless... until people saw this video and said in the comments that Paul Pierce threw a gang sign at Al Horford after the rookie's crazy, taunting outburst.
