Paul Pierce entertains in HORSE competition
Used the word "entertains" in the title, since Paul Pierce didn't exactly shine basketball wise today. Retired All-Star Chauncey Billups pulled off an upset over Trae Young, which gave some hope that Pierce could knock off Zach Lavine. The Truth couldn't hit his shots and while dunking wasn't allowed, Lavine definitely used his athleticism to his advantage. Pierce did have an excuse as it was a rare rainy day in Southern California. Pierce had the scooter out for his next shot hoping to give Lavine his first letter, but Paul ended up with HORSE before he had a chance to use it.
Pierce should add to the end of all his shots "... in the rain."— CelticsLife.com (@celticslife) April 13, 2020
