"In the final five minutes of the fourth quarter and overtime this postseason, when the score is within five points, the Celtics are shooting 48-for-96 as a team, including 11-of-24 on 3-point attempts."

"The Celtics’ clutch factor can largely be attributed this postseason to Pierce and Rajon Rondo. Pierce is 12-for-19 (63.2 percent) in the final five minutes of five-point games this postseason, the highest field goal percentage of any player who has attempted at least 10 clutch shots."
 
"No player has made more clutch shots this postseason than Rondo, who is 16-for-31. On those same shot attempts, LeBron is just 6-for-19 (31.6 percent) and Wade is 8-for-20 (40 percent)."

  Good stuff.

Great stuff.

Crazy how many attempts Rondo has had although game 2 probably was the bulk plus Pierce fouling out a couple times would do it.

Id also like to see free throws added to this as well
