Appearing on 10 All-Stars teams while winning one championship and a Finals MVP in his 15 seasons with the Celtics, Pierce is not your usual visiting player to TD Garden in Boston, of course.

Vowing to hang it up after this season, Pierce arrived to quite the fanfare for his final game in Boston. Entering late with the game basically out of reach, Pierce's straight-away three was his only made basket of the night. But likely you won't hear a cheer like that for a three-pointer by a visiting player in a losing effort in a very long time.
