ATLANTA – Isaiah Thomas dropped a goose egg during the first half of Game 5 against the Atlanta Hawks, and it didn’t get much better over the final two quarters.
Thomas finished the night with a season-low seven points before exiting the game during the fourth quarter with a mild left ankle sprain, and his Celtics fell 110-83 to Atlanta.
Tuesday’s result was more confirmation of a season-long trend for Boston: that it is only average when its leading scorer has a subpar scoring night. The Celtics are now 13-14 on the season when Thomas fails to score at least 20 points.
