Pierce with Another Hondoesque Moment

Who was more confident in crunch time:

Was it Billups when he was missing those free throws and airballing threes?

Or was it Pierce when he shook off Richard Hamilton at midcourt, drove to his left, split two defenders and fed the ball to Davis under the basket for the game-clincher?

It's games like this and finishes like this that turn good teams into great teams (indeed, after the Cs crushed the Ls in January of 1986, the Cs went on a winning streak, and the Ls, seeing the writing on the wall, went on a losing streak).
