It's easy to see Paul Pierce knock down clutch buckets and think that's the reason he's with the Washington Wizards.
Especially when he voices that opinion himself.
"That's why we brought him here," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said of Pierce's late-game heroics, per ESPN New York's Ohm Youngmisuk. "[Pierce is] not scared of the moment."
No one can argue that.
Pierce has been cool in crunch time throughout his NBA career. He routinely dropped daggers during 15 seasons spent with the Boston Celtics. He carried the fourth-quarter torch again last year, his first and only with the Brooklyn Nets.
