It's round 1 of the Eastern Conference in 2009 when one of the greatest playoffs series till date was played between the defending champions - the Boston Celtics and the seventh-seeded Chicago Bulls, which Boston ultimately went on to win 4-3 and advance to next round. After failing to finish the job in Game 1 in overtime at home, the Celtics bounced back in Game 2 at home.

With 4 seconds left on the clock and the scores tied, it looked like this game would also go in overtime like Game 1 but Allen delivered again in the dying seconds with a dagger 3-point shot to beat the Bulls 118-115. With 12 seconds left on the clock, Rondo received the ball from inbound and Paul Pierce setting up the screen, Allen took the pass from Rondo and fired it over Joakim Noah for the win.

Allen ended up as the scoring leader for Celtics with 30 points for the night. After the game, Allen said: "I never think I'm not in my rhythm. It can be a grind as a shooter. As a scorer, you're always trying to find something.
