Wade Can Only Watch Helplessly as Pierce Wins for Boston

Filed under: Celtics, Heat, Playoffs

MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade may have been the best player in this Boston-Miami series, but he could only watch helplessly from the sideline Friday night when Paul Pierce won Game 3 -- and effectively ended the series -- with his last-second shot at the buzzer.



It was excruciating. Not the cramps in Wade's left calf, which required him to be carried off the court with 11.7 seconds remaining. What hurt more was watching Pierce end his season.



The game-winning basket gave the Celtics a 100-98 victory and a 3-0 lead in this best-of-seven series, a deficit that no one in league history ever has overcome.



It's over -- this series, and this Miami team as it is constructed today.
