Rondo Partying Like It's 2012

Richard Hill | Contributing Writer

If for only one night, Rajon Rondo turned back the clock and reminded us of what he used to be.

Last night’s playoff game between the counter-culture #TNTBulls and dubious 1-Seed Celtics featured many surprising things: Robin Lopez’s 18 points on 8 of 11 shooting through three quarters, Chicago as a team making as many threes (10) as Boston despite attempting only 25 to Boston’s 33 and a 111-97 upset win for the 8-Seed Bulls who now lead the series 2-0 going in to Chicago. But none of these were more surprising than the game Rajon Rondo had against his former team: 11 points, nine rebounds, and 14 assists while also tallying five steals.
