It should come to no surprise that Isaiah Thomas was playing with extra heart this evening. In the back of his mind, he had another thing besides winning and that’s sister, Chyna Thomas’ birthday. Today, she would’ve been 23.
Tonight’s game against the Wizards proves how hungry the Celtics are for a chance at a bigger victory. Over the weekend, Isaiah Thomas made the toughest speech at his sister’s, Chyna Thomas, funeral.
During tonight’s game, he left it all on the court and especially for her because today, she would’ve turned 23-years old. Tonight is for Chyna.
