WATCH: Paul Pierce sinks Hawks at the buzzer

Washington's veteran forward Paul Pierce broke the hearts of the Atlanta Hawks when he sank a step-back jumper to give the Wizards a 103-101 victory in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference semi-finals best-of-seven series.

Pierce banked the jumper over three players, fell to the court with his hands raised, and was promptly mobbed by his teammates as the Verizon Center crowd celebrated.

The win gave the Wizards a 2-1 series lead over the top-seeded Hawks.

Asked later if he called bank on the shot, the former Finals MVP merely said: "I called game. Game."
