BOSTON (CBS) — The 1-seeded Boston Celtics are in a 2-0 hole in their playoff series against the Chicago Bulls, with the series shifting to Chicago for Game 3 on Friday night.
Boston has been dominated by Chicago’s trio of Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo, and have had no answer for Robin Lopez’s play in the paint. Isaiah Thomas is the only player who has shown up for the C’s in the first two games, averaging 26.5 points on 49 percent shooting, and he’s done so while dealing with the death of his younger sister just prior to the beginning of the series.
