Paul Pierce’s 19-year NBA career came to an end at the final buzzer of the Los Angeles Clippers’ first round loss against the Utah Jazz. The 39-year-old forward had six points and three rebounds in 21 minutes for the Clippers. He averaged 11.1 minutes in the series.
But “The Truth” left Sunday’s game with a lot of love from social media.
