Rondo’s Triple-Double Lifts Celtics over Cavaliers. Series Tied.

At times during the series, Boston’s Rajon Rondo has been the best player on the floor. And on Sunday afternoon at the Garden, the elusive Celtics guard unveiled a new twist to confound the Cavaliers. After keeping him relatively in check in Game 3, Rondo had his way again on Sunday – turning in a man-sized triple-double and leading both teams in rebounds with 18, as the Celtics muscled past the Wine and Gold, handing Cleveland the 97-87 loss to even the series at 2-2. The Eastern Conference Semis head back for Game 5 on Tuesday night at The Q. “I think it starts with Rondo. He’s kind of the engine that really gets them going,” LeBron James said. “He does everything for them. His performance was unbelievable. James scored 22 points – only one more than he had in the first quarter of Game 3 – and seemed frustrated during a seven-turnover performance.

  • I dont know why mike brown doesnt play shaq at all... How the hell is rondo gettin 18 boards when hes the shortest guy on the court.

  • Cause! SHAQ SUCK! N Lebron dont take OVER the GAME! I doubt Cavs aint gonna make it. Cause they dont play real game! They are not playing seriously. Don't get me wrong I like Cavs. But they pisses me off ever time when they are in play off they are HORRIBLE! During the season they were great and all that but they could had save it til the play off! I mean it's embrassing!

  • Sheeesh!!! The CAVS and most of all the KING is playing really lazy right now.... The Cavs should be up 3-1 but now it's 2-2..... Let's see on game 5.... GO CAVS and of course GO LEBRON!!!! :grin:

  • i agree with u fully on that bj. Cavs for some reason let off in the playoffs when it actually matter. Why the hell do u play so hard just to suck when it matters. Cavs could have won game 4 but none of the cavaliers want to step up unless lebron turns up the heat himself.. I hope moe williams can grow some nuts and play like he should be playin and jamison needs to step up 2
