Isaiah Thomas Highly Praised By Celtics Teammates After Emotional Game 1

The Boston Celtics lost Game 1 to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night in an emotional contest played one day after the tragic passing of Isaiah Thomas’ younger sister, Chyna.

Thomas scored a game-high 33 points in the four-point loss, and his Celtics teammates gave the star guard tremendous credit for his performance and leadership in the NBA playoff opener at TD Garden.

NESN.com’s Rachel Holt caught up with some of Thomas’ teammates after the game. Watch the video from “NESN Live,” presented by Cross Insurance, in the player above to see their reactions.
