Isaiah Thomas, booed relentlessly every time he touched the ball,
suffered through his worst game of the series and tweaked an ankle
in the fourth quarter. He finished with seven points on 3-of-12
shooting from the floor before limping to the locker room with 10
minutes left and the outcome long decided. Evan Turner had 15 points
and Jae Crowder and Marcus Smart added 10 each for Boston.
