On the play that changed Game 5

But Rajon Rondo tipped the rebound to Mickael Pietrus, who drilled a corner three, which kick-started a run that ended with the Celtics one win away from the NBA Finals.
I present you with Jay’s column for the Springfield Republican on the play that changed everything, and the reasons why maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised.
