Go Celtics! Series tied 2-2. Rondo with a triple double. 29 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists.
"Yesterday he looked like Magic Johnson and played like Oscar Robertson. He scored like LeBron James and rebounded like Wilt Chamberlain. He passed like Bob Cousy and ran the team like Gen. Patton."
"By the time he was finished, Rondo had done something accomplished by only Robertson and Chamberlain - scoring at least 29 points, hauling down at least 18 boards and having 13 assists in a playoff game. The last time it was done was 43 years ago, which may help you understand what really went on yesterday."
“The rebounding, the energy he’s playing with. But the stat that doesn’t show was his ball pressure."
“When a guy has a game like that, you have to tip your hat to him,” said Cleveland point guard Mo Williams. “It was major.”
Rondo recently made the NBA's All Defensive Team, 2nd in voting to only Dwight Howard.
