Another point guard by trade, Isaiah Thomas is more of the dynamic variety. IT2 has been on fire as of late, putting out 40-point performances one after another. One of those came Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors.
In his team's 109-104 victory, Thomas scored 44 points on a 75.8% true shooting percentage. He hit 5 of 12 attempts from downtown and an outstanding 15 of 16 from the free throw line. With a team-high usage of 37.1%, Thomas was as aggressive as ever, and for that reason he contributed much more than just points.
In 37 minutes, he also distributed 7 assists to go with 4 boards, all amounting to a nERD of 57.68. Despite the tall task, Thomas pushed his Boston Celtics over the top for the slim victory.
