Sam Cassell has nailed numerous clutch shots in his 14-year NBA career. Last night, he added another to his long résumé as he hit his first big one as a member of the Celtics.
Cassell nailed a late 3-pointer that helped the Celtics to a 93-91 victory over the reigning NBA champion Spurs at a sold-out and playoff-intense AT&T Center. Although trailing behind by 20 points, Cassell had 17 points off the bench, and his momentum-changing three with 46.4 seconds left gave Boston an 89-87 lead.
"If I get the opportunity, I'm going to make shots," said Cassell, who was playing in just his fourth game since signing with the Celtics March 4. "You know me, I'm going to make some shots. They gave me the opportunity to make the shot and I just made it."
The Celtics have won 12 of 13 games and six straight on the road. The Spurs have dropped four straight, and the loss snapped a seven-game home winning streak. They rock the NBA, and all Boston fans eyes will be watching a what will be a good game against Houston tonight.
