COMMENTARY
At some point this postseason, the Celtics will realize that there are no extra points awarded for degree of difficulty. Maybe they’ll even figure it out before it’s too late, when there are no more games to be played and no more comebacks left to make.
But one can’t totally blame them for making it so tough on themselves. If they made it easy, none of us would get to savor the fun of watching Isaiah Thomas bail them out.
In a season in which the 5-foot-9-inch guard provided consistent brilliance (not to mention nearly 30 points per game) to the Celtics, he delivered a tour de force even by his usual standards Tuesday night at TD Garden.
