Everybody Loves Rajon: Relive Rondo's epic Game 2 performance

Share

Rajon Rondo was a one-man wrecking crew in Game 2 against the Celtics, slicing up his old team to help the Bulls take an improbable 2-0 series lead.

Rondo finished Tuesday night's game with 11 points, nine rebounds and 14 assists in 40 minutes. He finished with a team-best +24 and added five steals that led to nine Bulls points.

It was a masterful performance from "Playoff Rondo," who has now averaged 14.4 points and 9.1 assists in 96 career postseason games.

Rondo's teammates were complimentary of the point guard who at one point during the year was entirely out of the rotation.

"He is the key of these first two wins," Nikola Mirotic said. "He's the guy who sets the tone."

"Rondo's been huge for us, offense and defense," Robin Lopez added. "He's been getting us into our sets, he's been talking, quarterbacking that defense. I can't elaborate how much that's helping us."

A pregame meeting he had with Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade also contributed to the success that has the Bulls two games away from making history.
