"We've been here before," Allen said. "That's why it bothered me so much about this one, because we had opportunities. We were right there." The Celtics were leading 105-100 in the first OT after baskets by Pierce and Allen, but the Celtics couldn't put away the Bulls. Allen, who hit two free throws with 9 seconds left to make it 110-107, and then Gordon came through. He got the ball near the top of the key and dribbled to his right, burying the tying 3 over Pierce. Rondo then missed a jumper, sending it into a second OT. Noah dunked over Glen Davis to make it a four-point game with 1:26 left. Pierce missed a 3-pointer, and with the crowd chanting his name, Noah made a free throw to make it 117-112 with 35 seconds remaining. Pierce converted a three-point play to pull Boston within two, but Salmons came up big at the line before making the big block to preserve the win.
