Watch: Can’t Keep Pierce Down

Watch Celtics fans react to Paul Pierce’s return to the bench in Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals after he had been carried off the court just minutes before. Said Kevin Garnett, “When he came out, you just heard the roar of the crowd…he just rejuvenated us, I think, to the point where he gave everybody life.” Paul’s comeback helped push the Celtics to a 98-88 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
