 SAN ANTONIO (AP) - This time last year, Ray Allen and several buddies were watching television in a Las Vegas hotel room when they came across Game 5 of the Spurs-Lakers series. Allen doesn't like watching playoff games he's not in, so he went into another part of the room and began ironing his clothes.
When the score was close in the final minutes, Allen couldn't resist. He returned to the sofa and saw one of the greatest finishes ever, with Los Angeles' Derek Fisher taking an inbounds pass with 0.4 seconds left and making a long jumper as the final horn sounded.
"We jumped up and screamed, like Derek Fisher was our best buddy and we'd just won the championship," Allen said, laughing about how caught up in the moment they were.
