#4: Paul Pierce wins it for the Nets

"THIS IS WHY THEY GOT ME HERE!"

For moments like these, Brooklyn Nets traded for Paul Pierce. Always touted as a clutch performer, Paul Pierce lived up to the billing. Just not in the way one would expect.

With just 6.2 seconds left in regulation of game 7 in the 1st round matchup of the 2014 NBA Playoffs, the Raptors trailed 103-104 and had the ball with Kyle Lowry.

It all seemed the perfect ending for the team from the North. The Raptors' All-Star point guard penetrated the double team of Kevin Garnett and Deron Williams to flip up the series-winning bucket.

Only it was not meant to be. The Boston Celtics' legend sent the ball back from where it came and sent the Nets to the second round.

In the end, the Toronto Raptors just could not handle 'the Truth'.
