BOSTON -- Intensive dental work prior to Tuesday's night's Game 2 wasn't about to slow Boston's Isaiah Thomas, not on the night of what would have been t he 23rd birthday of his late sister Chyna.
Thomas poured in 53 points -- 29 of them coming in the fourth quarter and overtime as Boston beat the Washington Wizards, 129-119, to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
"My sister," Thomas said on TNT when asked where his intensity and performance came from. "... Everything I do is for her and she's watching over me.
