    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Big Nasty:</div><div class="quote_post">MIAMI (AP) -- Everything went right for the Boston Celtics down the stretch.

    Paul Pierce turned a potential turnover into a layup, Mark Blount came up with the night's most important rebound, and the Miami Heat kept missing.

    The combination helped Boston rally from a nine-point deficit in the final 5{ minutes Tuesday night to snap a four-game losing streak by beating Miami 86-84.

    "We just had that great sense of urgency," Pierce said. "We could have gotten discouraged with four or five minutes to go, but we kept our composure."

    The Celtics were badly outrebounded, but Blount's tip-in put them ahead 85-84 with 48 seconds left. The Heat's Rafer Alston attenpted a potential game-winning shot from 25 feet, but it glanced off the front of the rim at the buzzer.</div>

    Ugly game, but way to pull it out in the end. Finally someone is getting big offensive rebounds, hopefully they can go out and win tomorrow

    Pierce is the type of player who'll always fight, they might come back or not. Examples of great players who're in the same sort of situation are Wade and Butler. Hopefully neither of them were affected too greatly and will be back on their feet to help their team.

    Paul Pierce is often forgotten (in comparison to Kobe Tmac, AI, etc). The guy has a jumper and takes it to the hole better than anyone.

    I heard that this summer he got "training" from Magic on how to be a better leader. Went through a stabbing, rough life. The guy deserves more respect.

    Definitely, he's a fighter, no offense to Nets fans. But he isn't some whiney player like K-Mart.
