Jae Crowder (or as KWAPT calls him, "Jaesus") scored 25 points to go along with 2 of Boston's 7 steals, the most important being the grab with 1:02 left in the game to give the C's the 3 point lead and get the Garden fired up.
Amir Johnson also contributed greatly with 14 points and 18 rebounds, putting him on Sean Grande's top rebounds list.

Marcus Smart contributed 5 points and 7 rebounds off the bench, but perhaps had one of the most talked about plays of the game with this crazy circus shot:
