Derek Fisher’s Top 5 Greatest Clutch Shots

2. Fisher Helps Lakers Claim Home Court Advantage From Celtics

Hitting big shots in the NBA Finals have become a trend for the point guard from Little Rock. What makes this shot even sweeter is that it came at the expense of the Boston Celtics. After leaving Los Angeles tied at one game apiece, the home court advantage now belonged to the Boston Celtics and Game 3 was going to be electrifying. The Lakers managed to withstand the energy and the crowd and D-Fish sealed the game with a lay-up and the foul from Kevin Garnett and Glen Davis. This was so important because it gave the Lakers home court advantage again, and a very much needed win in Boston.
