WALTHAM, Mass. -- The day after Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas said his behind-the-head pass "broke the internet," a palpable buzz lingered about the ridiculous late-game dish that helped Boston top the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night at TD Garden.
Asked about the reaction he's received about the play, Thomas smiled and joked, "I mean, the internet was broke last night. Everybody has been hitting me about the pass. So I guess it was a pretty nice pass."
Thomas admitted that if Jae Crowder doesn't hit the 3-pointer in the corner that essentially sealed Thursday's victory in what had been a four-point game with less than a minute to play, then maybe the assist wouldn't have been as heralded as it was.
