We should have known. Rajon Rondo doesn't like to take a back seat to anyone, including Lebron James. It was James that had the triple-double in the Lakers 129-128 victory over Boston, but it was Rondo that won the game in the closing seconds with his first-ever game-winning shot in the closing 10 seconds of the game.
Rondo on the parquet with his son on the morning of the game was a sign. This wasn't just about getting the kid some hoop time - this was about getting the feel for the TD Garden floor once again.
