Paul Pierce single-handedly beat the Chicago Bulls in yet another thriller last night, giving the Boston Celtics a 3-2 series lead.
Game 5 seemed to almost fall into the Bulls' lap: Ray Allen fouled out in the fourth quarter, the Celtics were getting nothing from their bench and Kevin Garnett was still sidelined.
Ben Gordon put on a show once again, but Pierce refused to lose. His clutch shots were contested just about as well as they could have been
The most haunting stat of the night?
0-2.
Those were Brad Miller's missed game-tying free throws at the end of overtime.
The Bulls have the solace of knowing that they're coming back home. Let's just hope they aren't getting drained emotionally from all this incredible drama.
Prediction: The Bulls even the series in Game 6.
Go Bulls.

The Bulls will win the next one. I don't see them winning #7 though. Miller should have drained those free throws.
(Actually, the foul on Miller should have been a flagrant, but the refs have been in the tank for Boston since game one.)
