It must be nice to be the Boston Celtics sometimes. Like when they need a three-pointer with seconds left to put away the New York Knicks in their playoff opener. Hey, just have Ray Allen, the NBA's all-time leading three-point shooter, do it! Video via Ben Golliver:

After Allen drained the three, the Knicks, lacking a timeout, set up Carmelo Anthony with a chance to win. He wasn't able to come up with anything but a deep hurl with Rajon Rondo's hand and Allen's bald head in his face, which clanged off the front of the rim as the buzzer sounded.
Pretty great game -- hopefully more of this on the way in this series. The Knicks held a commanding lead halfway through, and will have a chance to try again Tuesday night.
