All the Ray Back
Date: June 12, 2008
In one of the biggest comebacks in NBA Playoffs history, the Celtics took a 21-point first quarter deficit in Game 4 of the 2008 NBA Finals and turned it into a 97-91 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Ray Allen had 19 points and nine rebounds on the night, including the final layup to seal the victory. Said Coach Doc Rivers, “It was huge. It was a great call by Ray. And then him getting to the basket was huge. The layup was just tremendous.”
