From CNN.SI-By the time Pierce came back in, Boston was coasting to victory with an 18-point lead and just 7:06 left and a crowd was chanting ''Eddie!'' for the backup whose 20 second-half points were more than he had scored in any playoff game in his career. House, who once scored 31 in a regular-season game but never more than 16 in the playoffs, also goaded Magic guard Rafer Alston into a head slap that led to a double-technical.
''All I did was hit a shot, turn the other way and I got hit upside the head,'' House said. ''I guess he was tired of getting hit upside the head.''
Van Gundy, who coached House in Miami, put the blame on his own team.
''If he gets under guys' skin, it's just because he gets very excited when things are going good,'' he said. ''He's really excited and he's going to let you know he's kicking your butt. There's a lot of guys like that in this game.''
No better way to pay tribute to the Game 2 MVP than a little Jungle Brothers:
And this is what Alston was thinking as Eddie snapped another 3 in his eyeball:
