I agree that Pierce's three was the most important shot of the game, but the drive and layup he made before that three is what really excites me about Pierce. He went among the trees and made a really difficult layup look routine in my opinion. Not many teams are going to have the size that Florida had on that play around the rim. He used his height and speed to beat Haugh (6'9") and Chinyelu (6'10") with I think Condon (6'11") lurking. If he can continue to make plays like those, he is gong to really help open up the offense. I also loved seeing those two free throws go in with nothing but net after missing his initial two free throws earlier in the game.
