Rajon Rondo returns to Boston, hits a game-winner to beat the Celtics

Well, that's one way to return to your old stomping grounds.

Louisville native and Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo returned to Boston on Thursday night – the team he helped win an NBA title in 2008 – and hit a game-winner jumper as time expired.

After a scramble for a loose ball following a missed lay-up as the clock wound down, Rondo corralled the ball and put up a quick jumper that dropped in as the buzzer sounded.
