Ray Allen Goes From Gunner to Goat

Filed under: Celtics, Lakers, NBA Finals

BOSTON -- No one saw Ray Allen's last miss.



Kevin Garnett was jawing with Derek Fisher, no doubt questioning him and the official on an offensive foul that stole Boston's last chance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals with 32 seconds left. Allen had kept rolling to the hoop off the high screen, the Celtics guard all alone when he blew a layup that -- had the whistle not been blown -- would have cut the Lakers' lead to three.



Call it the mercy miss.



The loss was bad enough, with the Lakers' 91-84 win at TD Banknorth Garden dimming the lights on this electric city while giving them the 2-1 lead. Allen was even worse, missing all 13 of his attempts just one game after setting a Finals record with eight three-pointers in Game 2.
