Key Moment

If the Detroit Pistons forgot who is the King in the Fourth in the NBA, Isaiah Thomas served them a resounding reminder Monday night.

The little guy, who entered the game leading the league in fourth-quarter scoring (10.3 points per fourth quarter) and the East in overall scoring (29.1 points per game), surpassed both of his unbelievable averages – with ease – during Monday night’s 113-109 win over the visiting Pistons.

Thomas racked up an incredible 24 points during the fourth quarter alone to take his total to 41 on the night, and the Celtics needed every single one of them.
