It’s been a tough two days for Isaiah Thomas. He lost his 22-year-old sister, Chyna Thomas, in a car accident on Saturday and had to turn around and play in the Celtics’ first playoff game on Sunday. Thomas got a warm reception from Boston before the game, full of support and love.
Celtics fans erupt after Isaiah Thomas makes his 1st 3-pointer of Game 1
What a moment.
To start the game, he set up Avery Bradley for a three-pointer on the break. The next play down, he set up Bradley again but the shooting guard bobbled the pass and got it back to Thomas. Thomas instantly launched a 26-footer and when it went in, the city of Boston went crazy.
The Bulls immediately called a timeout, which gave the Celtics team and fans a chance to cheer even more for Thomas. What a moment.
