The Cavaliers' offense saw Hansen running out to the perimeter for a shot that was fiercely disrupted by Garnett, resulting in a miss, but Ilgauskas fought hard underneath the basket to secure the offensive rebound and flung it back to the outside.
Old Parker caught the ball and without hesitation, he shot.
"Swish!"
The sound of the three-pointer replaced the clang of the miss, turning the Quicken Loans Arena into an ocean of cheers.
This three-pointer was worth its weight in gold!
But before the cheer had a chance to die down, Ray Allen, with his exquisite off-the-ball movement, managed to get open in the corner beyond the three-point line after a series of cuts, and took Rondo's pass for a decisive three-point attempt.
Ray Allen had earned the title of a T0-level shooter exactly for these critical moments – his clutch shooting quality was undeniable.
The lead was again reduced to a single possession.
