There was not one player more dangerous than Isaiah Thomas in the fourth quarter last season. Not one.
In 70 appearances for the Boston Celtics last season, Thomas scored a league-high 684 points in the fourth quarter on an impressive 46.7 percent shooting from the field and 37.6 percent shooting from behind the arc, earning him the nickname “Mr. Fourth Quarter.”
However, that was last season. This season has been a completely different story.
Since returning from the All-Star break, Thomas has attempted 71 shots in the fourth quarter, the third most in the NBA behind Lou Williams (73) and Buddy Hield (72).
