Simultaneously with the softball team run-ruling North Dakota State 11-0 in its first postseason game and the baseball team in a tight battle with the USC Trojans, former Arizona hoopster Andre Iguodala scored eight points in the final 3:11 of his Philadelphia 76ers' game against the Boston Celtics to win 92-83 on Friday night.
Iggy finished with 16 points, seven boards and four assists, and had a pretty bad game going before drilling two threes and a fadeaway 17-footer that put the Sixers ahead for good. Now, the series is tied 2-2.
From a behind-the-back pass that came at a really bad time to his clutch heroics, I give you a recap of the event via Twitter.
That was an excellent pass by Iguodala...the rim just wasn't ready for it. You have to get your hands up, rim.

To his defense, it's an efficient pass for him. RT @HPbasketball: Iguodala keeps wanting behind the back. He's tried like 80 in this series.

Tonight Andre Iguodala is not overpaid.

Boston forgot about Dre.

For some reason I expected Iguodala to do the big balls dance after that shot.

Iguodala's reputation was a guy who contributed the whole game but couldn't hit a shot late. BIZARRO PLAYOFFS ARE BIZARRE.

Iguodala is an incredible Italian iguana inserting interesting ideological iodine into itself, an ice-cold icon idealized as Icarus!
