JUST RIDICULOUS.
Isaiah Thomas was on a mission Tuesday night, dropping an absurd 53 points (including 29 in the fourth quarter and overtime) to lead his Celtics to a Game 2 victory over the Wizards.
.@Isaiah_Thomas‘ 53 points tonight are the most by a player in a playoff game since Allen Iverson’s 55 in 2003. https://t.co/Bqf6lMhpgH

John Wall (40 points, 13 assists) balled out for Washington, but was overshadowed by IT down the stretch.
Here were some immediate reactions from guys around the league:

Peep the highlights above.
Here’s what Thomas had to say about the performance in the postgame press conference:
