How many shots did Toine miss? Yet he still may be the reason for the Heat's win...
No.
If the Heat win it will be because the Celtics couldn't rebound/handle the loose balls in the last 3 minutes. The bounces just aren't going their way on their own end.

"Kirilenko's eyes started to tear in the locker room as he talked in a shaky voice about his frustrations and inability to stop Pierce. He played just four minutes in the final quarter because of his inept defense, but his small consolation was that none of his teammates could do any better."

I was at this game. 'Toint for 3 quaters was junk. Crap. Zero. Then of course at the end he hits a couple big shots to seal the deal. Why'd it have to be him?
However as big as his shot were it's not why we lost. It was rebounds. Specifically offensive bounds.
But we hung in there with one of the big boys of the East and gave them a legit run. If we had a fully healthy AJ (who still looked nice in limited minutes) and a healthy Perks...who knows.
If was a fun night at a packed Garden. A W would have been better but it was a fun night.
