If you play pickup ball, you’ve heard it 1,000 times. It will be in a game to 15 points, some team will be up 14-13 and someone will call “game” upon the release of a jumper. On Saturday in front of his home crowd, Paul Pierce said he just did that.
Pierce hit a game-winning bank shot at the buzzer to beat the Hawks 103-101 on Saturday. After the game, he was asked if he banked in the winning shot. “I called game,” Pierce said. That might be the most perfect answer ever to a very common question.
