Rondo is no stranger to coming up big in the closeout games. I'm sure you guys remember his impressive performance in Game 6 of the 2008 Finals against LA. As a 22 year-old guard Rondo finished the game with 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 assists. He was also very active on the defensive end of that game as he finished with 6 steals as well on route to bring Boston banner 17.
It was a historic postseason for Rajon Rondo. He moved up to sixth place on the all-time assists leaders list for the playoffs.
