Garnett and Allen combine for 62 to defeat Detroit 106-102. Celtics were up by as many as 17 but Detroit rallied to cut it to 1 in the 4th. But, a big three by Allen and key free throws sealed the victory!

Actually, that shot by Ray Allen late in the 4th was a two point shot. His foot was on the line. ;)

Ah good call. I remember the commentator intially called it a three and then said his foot stepped on the line.

Spurs have officially been eliminated. Lakers advance to Finals.

Please let the Pistons advance so I can have a team to pull for in the finals.
Btw, very class-less of Phil's Lakers to take a 3pt shot as time expired, when the Spurs weren't even guarding. Just makes me shake my head...

Really now? I turned it off with around 50 seconds to go. That is disgusting to hear. Did the Spurs players stay and congratulate the Lakers?

oh come on now! lol
Sasha was just putting up a celebration 3 at the buzzer.
And yes, they are congratulated each other and everything.
Now we just have to wait for Celtics Piston series

I'll reserve judgement until I see the actual video...but that is very shameful if it was a last second shot. You can celebrate by carrying the game ball off the court. Not trying to pound your stats at the last second or whenever it was. Classless player...just like the classless Lakers fans who invade Spurs message boards and talk garbage.

I really can't wait to see this video.

The commentator even made mention that it was a sensless shot that should not have been taken. Even stating (although it was not evident on camera) that Michael Finely gave Sasha a stare-down after he shot it, in a sense saying "What the @#$% are you doing?"
Bet there weren't too many Spurs congratulating Sasha.

[RenegadeLonghorn]

I saw a poor quality clip of this on youtube. Saw some analysts on tv today kind of making fun of the situation. Spurs won't complain about this since we have class. Still disgusting, classless action By Vujacic.

So who's going to win tonight?
