"Everyone knows he's a good defender". The Celtics have won three straight after dropping the first two games at home and the Wizards are hoping John Wall can lead them into Atlanta and put the series away tomorrow night.
The Celtics won the two games in Chicago, evening the series, recapturing the home-court advantage and creating in effect a best-of-three.
Al Horford chipped in with 21 points, to go along with 9 assists and 7 rebounds, and Kelly Olynyk tallied a playoff career high 14 points.
"Jimmy Butler's a hard guy to guard".
"Mentally and emotionally, I'm not here, so I just feed off what the guys give me", Thomas said.
Butler, who shot 23 free throws in Game 4 and made 19, was 0 for 1 on Wednesday.
Jimmy Butler, who has been going to the free throw line a lot in the series, also must continue to drive to the basket and draw contact. Rondo told reporters Wednesday he wasn't playing Thursday, according to ESPN's Nick Friedell. In the series, Rondo is averaging 11.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game.

The Celtics are only minus-6 in rebounding and plus-18 in second-chance points over the last two games. "Eventually we're going to have to win without him, because of the looks of it he's not going to be back".
When asked about Isaiah Thomas' ball handling in Game 5, Hoiberg had a much different take.
"No", he said, before walking out.
Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas drives past defending Chicago Bulls guard Isaiah Canaan. The Celtics lost the first two games at home - with Game 1 just a day after Thomas' sister died in a auto crash. The guard has had an up and down series, and his Game 4 performance was definitely in the latter category as he scored just 11 points in 38 minutes of action.
