BOSTON – Here are the Stars, Studs and Duds from Game 2 between Boston and Washington which ended with a 129-119 Celtics overtime win.
STARS
Isaiah Thomas
Just when it seems Isaiah Thomas has shown us all he has to offer, he goes out and does what he did in Game 2, scoring a playoff career-high 53 points which includes scoring nine of Boston’s 15 points in overtime.
John Wall
He set the tone with a strong first quarter, and finished the game with a slew of solid plays as well. He led the Wizards with a double-double of 40 points and 13 assists.
STUDS
Markieff Morris
No one knew for sure if he would play due to a left ankle sprain in Game 1. He didn’t just play, he played a major role for the Wizards. He had 16 points, 10 of which came in the first quarter.
Terry Rozier
He’s back in the mix for Boston, and he’s doing all he can to stay. He had 12 points in Game 2, including a game-tying 3-pointer with less than two minutes to play. He finished the game with a staggering plus/minus of +25.
Al Horford
He didn’t get a lot of shots attempts but still managed to play a solid game, finishing with a double-double of 15 points and 12 rebounds
Boston Celtics
DUDS
Amir Johnson
He got the start, but did very little in terms of impact or production. He was scoreless in four minutes, 31 seconds.
