BOSTON – Isaiah Thomas turned 27 on Sunday, and he wanted nothing more than to celebrate the day with a win over his former team.

The Celtics held a 74-58 advantage over Sacramento at halftime, and at that point it seemed appropriate to begin lighting Thomas’ birthday candles.

The Kings, however, wanted him to fight for his wish, so they stormed back during the second half and brought their deficit down to five points with 100 seconds remaining in the game.

But Thomas was not about to let his former squad steal his cake.
