Photo: Brian Babineau/NBAE/Getty ImagesPaul Pierce had one final moment of glory in Boston on Sunday, when he hit a three-pointer in the game’s final minute. Pierce announced in September he would retire at the end of this season, and the Boston crowd serenaded him with standing ovations and raucous cheers. When visiting Los Angeles with the Celtics, Shaquille O’Neal didn’t score at all in his last game against the Lakers. Hakeem Olajuwon’s goodbye in Houston as a Raptor, and Dominique Wilkins’ last trip to Atlanta with the Magic were also lackluster.
