Boston ? For the second time in a row in Boston, Ricky Davis hit the game-winning shot in the closing seconds to beat Memphis.

Davis made a jumper as time expired, and Paul Pierce scored 29 points as the Celtics overcame an 18-point deficit to beat the Memphis Grizzlies, 99-98, Wednesday night. Pierce added eight assists, seven rebounds and three steals for Boston.

After Eddie Jones’ jumper gave the Grizzlies a one-point lead with 13 seconds remaining, Pierce was double-teamed as he drove baseline and passed to Davis, who was wide-open at the foul line.

“It was going to be Pierce or Davis,” Grizzlies coach Mike Fratello said. “It’s not like we didn’t talk about both of them. We lost the game here last year with Davis taking the last shot.”

In Memphis’ previous trip to Boston, Davis hit the game-winner with 3.9 seconds left in the Celtics’ 90-88 victory.

“I will say this: If we have 82 of these, I don’t know if I can take this season,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. “It was a great comeback by us because we put ourselves in a hole and got out of it.”
