Al Horford Steals Rebound, Scores Game-Winning Layup in Game 5

Paul Pierce’s legend grew two sizes, but nobody cared. Pierce nailed a go-ahead 3 with 8-seconds remaining was rendered a footnote as Al Horford scored the game-winner with less than 2-seconds remaining and gave the Hawks a 3-2 series lead. The clinching rebound slipped through Nene’s hands. The Wizards blew a 9-point lead in the 4th quarter. Overall, it was a rough ending for the Wizards, despite Pierce’s brief heroics.
