The All-Star point guard struggled in a 121-102 Game 4 loss in Washington, and complained about a lack of foul calls.
Per the Boston Herald:
The biggest “must-win game” of Thomas’ basketball life, according to the Celtics point guard, will be tomorrow night’s Game 5 of the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals against the Wizards.
Thomas gave a telling response when asked if he had ever played in a more meaningful game.
“Probably not,” Thomas said when asked if he’d ever played in a more meaningful game. “Game 5’s are huge in a playoff series and we have got to protect home court, and I’m treating it as a must win.
“I’m treating it as the biggest game I’ve ever played in. Hopefully everybody else is treating it like that.”
