I.T. with 33, Big Al gets 21/9/10, Crowder goes for 24 and A.B. scores 18 in big comeback win (videos)



Isaiah Thomas scored game-high 33 points to go with nine assists as the Celtics take the 1-0 lead over Washington Wizards in second round of playoffs. This was extremly inspirational performance for Thomas who not only flew back to Boston just hours before the tip-off but also lost his tooth in the first quarter before delivering another great game to lead the Celtics over Wizards.

Al Horford once again flirted with triple-double, posting a statline of 21 points, nine boards and 10 assists. Horford came up huge in the fourth quarter as well, making some big plays as he continues to play extremely well in this year's playoffs.


Jae Crowder finally made some thress as he finished the game with 24 points on 6/8 shooting from downtown. Crowder woke up in a perfect moment, going off against the team he has history with and making big shots in the domintant third quarter. He was team-high plus-26 on the night. Let's hope he can continue this kind of play in the rest of the series as well.


Avery Bradley had some troubles on the offensive end of the floor but he did finish the game with 18 points to go with five rebounds, four assists and four steals. Bradley provided some great defense on Wizards' backcourt and made some buckets down the stretch.
