It was Allen's turn in Celtics' OT win

TORONTO -- On this day, at least, Ray Allen was the obvious choice among Boston's Big Three to get the ball with the game on the line.

Allen made the winning 3-pointer with less than 3 seconds to play, and finished with 33 points in the Celtics' 98-95 overtime victory over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.

"A lot has been said about this team, what's going to happen at the end of games, who's going to take that shot," Allen said. "It's a joy to be out there offensively and for the coach to be able to draw up and play and there's three options."

T.J. Ford tied it at 95 on a 3-pointer with 4.4 seconds left in overtime, but Allen won it with a 3 from the corner on Boston's final possession. Paul Pierce inbounded the ball to Allen, who came off a Kevin Garnett screen to drain the tiebreaking basket.

"That was the play we drew up, for Ray to come off," Pierce said. "We had second and third options but the first option was open. We got the ball to him and executed our play."

Kevin Garnett scored 10 of his 23 points in overtime and added 13 rebounds, giving him double-doubles in both of his games for Boston this season.
